has been rated F4. I suspect that they are looking at the area around KC very closely because it has been reported that there could be F5 damage there. The ones around Warrensburg MO were apparently F0's.

Damage assessments are frequently done before concluding the scale and intensity of tornadoes. Obviously there is reason to believe that some F4/F5 damage in some areas...but even without all that conclusive evidence as yet...the fact of 80+ tornadoes in 2 days makes it a very very serious outbreak for early May.

I heard it was the 7th or 8th worst outbreak since these have been tracked.
