On Wednesday morning, August 22, a spotter reported having seen a funnel briefly touch down Monday evening in an area that the NWS had been monitoring closely on radar at the time. A ground survey Wednesday afternoon revealed multiple patches of flattened corn in a field along Gougar Road near Manhattan, IL. The stalks were all laying toward the northeast. They were also quite dry and could be snapped over with little pressure, but enough radar and eyewitness evidence exists to suggest there was briefly a broad and weak circulation on the ground.
EF Scale: The Enhanced Fujita Scale Classifies Tornadoes into the following categories.
EF0…Weak......65 to 85 mph EF1…Weak......86 to 110 mph EF2…Strong....111 to 135 mph EF3…Strong....136 to 165 mph EF4…Violent…166 To 200 mph EF5…Violent…>200 mph
