NWS Quick Response Team (QRT)

A specialized team of engineers and experienced meteorologists deployed to assess tornado damage, especially when a tornado is suspected to exceed EF3 intensity (i.e., EF4 or EF5). In accordance with NWS policy, these teams include wind engineering experts to help ensure accurate ratings for high-end events. They are requested by local NWS offices through their respective regional headquarters, which include the Western Region Headquarters (WRH), Central Region Headquarters (CRH), Southern Region Headquarters (SRH), and Eastern Region Headquarters (ERH).

A regional NWS Quick Response Team (QRT) determined that this was an EF4 tornado, with a well-constructed home being swept clean from its slab and its debris broken into small pieces and carried 50 to 200 yards.
