Storm Survey Teams Assess Damage, Confirm 8 Tornadoes Across North and East Texas.
On Wednesday, May 29, 2019 there were 8 tornadoes that were reported in north and east Texas. The National Weather Service has sent out teams to 5 area counties to confirm a tornado hit, and get the EF scale (enhanced Fujita scale that determines the wind speed and the amount of damage in the area) . Tarrant county had 2 confirmed tornadoes. An EF-1 with winds up to 90 mph, and an EF-0 with winds at 80 mph. Rockwall County had one confirmed tornado, EF-0 with 70 mph winds. Denton county had one confirmed EF-0 tornado with 75 mph winds. Van Zandt county had 2 tornadoes that were EF-1 with one having 100 mph winds and the other having 90 mph winds. Kaufman county had the two worst tornados, at EF-2 they had winds of 120-130 mph and 125-130 mph. Out of all these tornadoes only one person has minor injuries. Several houses have significant damage and many trees have been uprooted.
The problem:
Determining if there was a tornado that struck, how fast the winds were blowing, and what kind and how much damage and injuries were a result of the tornado.
Who has the problem?
The national weather service has to send properly trained people to determine if there was indeed a tornado.
The people who may have injuries that will need to file for help need to have a tornado confirmation.
The people who receive property damage will need a confirmation of a tornado to file a claim with insurance.
The insurance companies need confirmation of a tornado to help their customers with claims
Businesses that deal in repairs need to know if they need to go to that area to gather up some business .
