....yep, and here's a bit more info about that that you may find interesting:
That wind speed was recorded by Josh Wurman in the Doppler on Wheels from the University of Oklahoma. "Standard" National Weather Service radars are usually much too far from a tornado to record the wind speeds accurately.
There hasn't been another F5 since then.
The USA never went more than 5 years (or maybe it was 4...I'm not 100% on that) between F5's ever since the Fujita scale was developed by Ted Fujita. The new record for length of time between F5's grows daily.
