RECORDED WINDSPEED: 287 MPH
DAMAGE RATING GIVEN BY ME: Strong EF-5
REASONS FOR DAMAGE RATING:
Weak-frame slabs thrown, showing 200+ MPH damage (with the distance showing winds much stronger than 200)
Possible slab movement of the HQ (which shouldn't be possible until 300 MPH but I'll go ahead and give it a 260 MPH rating)
Complete destruction of the storm shelter entrance in Rockford
Complete leveling of even the strongest houses
