Water Vapor GOES East Satellite by UNISYS.

NOTED : There is significant convection in the Caribbean Sea as well. The North Atlantic Vortex is still present but 'moved off' to the east of Greenland.

Current reports of authority at Weather Centers in the area of the incident in Kentucky/Illinois is stating the vorticity is initially assessed at 150 to 160 mph. The upper levels of a F2 tornado is 157 mph. The authorities in the area are calling this an F3. If there is a difference for people in filing insurance claims and the like including FEMA is would be far better to classify the incident at a higher Fujita Scale number as there is a (+/-) error in any reporting. So given any error to the higher scale the residents should have the benefit of the higher scale.
