I visited Picher a few days ago (a few weeks after this storm) and the town is devastated. A whole neighborhood was pretty much wiped off the map. You can see plenty of footage just by typing Picher Tornado here at Youtube. This was a strong F4, easily. It uprooted enormous trees, moved houses off of foundations, and literally removed a gas station. Not sure what more would have been needed to make it an F5.

Will the tornado that was in picher was an F4 some say that it might have been an F5 in some areas. I live here look it up on the computer the diff from F3 to F4 then tell me it was an F3 ok

well, according to the NWS damage survey team it was an F4, but the tornado looked to reach its maximum intensity east of Picher, but that is by appearence only and not by damage, which is really the only thing they can use to judge tornado strength...

I didn't hear sirens but I wasn't listening either, my grandma's sister called, 5 mins later our cousins went on the porch, 2 seconds later they ran in and said to take cover, it went right over the house -flattened it... There may have been sirens but we only knew about the warning for around 10 mins. It all happened so fast...

The sirens went off in Joplin Before it hit Picher. The media here said they had about a 10Min warning. The Tornando was a F3 in Picher, Then F4 in MO. Most of the people that were killed South of Joplin were in Cars.

It wasn't a F4 until it got to Ivy Road between Joplin and Seneca. It was a F3 in Picher, OK... Not that it matters...
