NWS Quick Response Team (QRT)

A specialized team of engineers, experienced meteorologists, and other experts tasked with assessing 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 (WRH), Central Region (CRH), Southern Region (SRH), and Eastern Region (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.
