Here in Georgia in 1974, a tornado that was rated as an F4 touched down near the edges of the freight yards in Atlanta. Forntunately, it was only on the ground for just a few minutes. However, during that short period of time it slung a few freight cars and an engine over an area of several yards. After that it then lost some of it's power and touched down again long enough to take the back porch off the governor's mansion. They estimated that when it did this, it's power had been reduced to an F2. <br /> <br />Now just think about this for a moment. Imagine standing there and seeing a diesel locomotive being slung across the ground. The power of some of these storms is incredible.
