We know there were at least three tornadoes, said Daniel Lamb, a meteorologist in the National Weather Service office in Jackson. The same storm produced at least two tornadoes from Franklin, Lincoln into Lawrence counties, and then there was another one from Lamar possibly into Forest County. He said there may have been more.

7 months agoFrom Texas to Kansas: The States Tornadoes Hit the Hardest
National Oceanic and Atmospheric Association (NOAA) doppler radar studies have shown that wind speeds aloft in many tornadoes can exceed those inferred from ground damage surveys, highlighting the limits of current measurement methods. This research suggests that we need to better understand tornado strength and speed, information which could result in buildings that are better able to withstand these winds. Preparing buildings and communities for tornadoes could have far-reaching effects. Tornadoes can cause significant property damage, decimate buildings, and, in some cases, cause numerous fatalities.
