I was referring to the width of tornado at ground level. The funnel may be 2 miles wide but the ground path is not.
The ground path IS the recorded width of the tornado. How could it be otherwise?
To be honest, most tornadoes of appreciable size are actually a system of smaller suction vortices which swirl around a central area of circulation. But the whole system of circulation is, indeed, a tornado.
Yes it is...
Go take a look at some historical aerial photos of tornado damage, Greenfield, Kansas would be a start. The whole old downtown section was destroyed by one tornado. Eight blocks are roughly a mile.
