F-4 and was the most devastating tornado until the OKC one two years ago. Both touchdowns were separated by about 40 miles.

I believe the tornado which struck Jarrell, Texas(between Temple and Georgetown) was an F5. It totally leveled a residential area leaving nothing but foundations. It sucked the grass out of the ground and actually pulled hair from animals later found. Some experts have estimated the winds at 170-200 MPH. This occured in 1997 I believe.
