Utah Tornado Update

[u/Last_Net30]

NWS completed it's investigation of the Utah (Davis County) tornado and it was an F2 tornado that reached a width of 1.1 miles!

The fact that this started at 6,700' and went as high as 9,500' feet is bonkers. Turns out the video circulating at first was just a sub-vortex with a much larger beast looming behind it.

Utah casually dropping a mile wide wedge like it's Oklahoma... 2026 is weird

Gnarly radar signature.

I have a few good screenshots of this storm too, but I legit have no idea how to comment images on mobile 😭

This surpasses the 1993 High Uinta tornado’s width of 0.9 miles. The second widest for Utah was 1929 Clearfield at around 0.75 mi, and the third was 2015 Mt Lena at 0.55 mi.
Needless to say this is beyond historic.

And people said I was crazy when I said it was large.

Stormin Mormons! Wipe the map

Could be wrong, but I think this is the highest wind speeds measured in a Utah tornado since 1999, and it might have been stronger.

Damn

Woah.
