Okay that was 192kt flight-level. It is always dropped about 10-20 for ground-level.

Right. It’s still like the gigantic tornado you mentioned.

I was in “only” a large F3 tornado (the records say) as a boy (we were in the basement) and the destruction (including our house) was pretty awesome... In one case, a car was picked up out of a garage, with the garage walls surviving, and the car dropped in our neighbor’s yard. Another garage was apparently very strongly built, but not anchored. It was picked up essentially intact, and dumped into a pond about 200 ft. in back of it. There were no marks indicating “dragging” of such an object between the “slab” of concrete the garage was on, and the pond. Later, when water conditions were clear, you could still see the roof of the garage a few feet under the water, in what I would guess was about 15 ft. of water. A roughly 200 sq. ft. portion of our roof clonked one of our neighbor’s roof. And so on...
