- Weather researchers and tornado-history readers
- Worth noticing
- It distinguishes reported RaXPol measurements of at least 295 mph from the KTLX scans shown in the viewer.
Field notes
The page describes its scans as native observations at approximately 0.5° elevation, with north up and distances measured from KTLX in kilometres. It warns that velocity is raw radial velocity, may contain aliasing, and is not storm-relative; it also cautions that RhoHV values alone do not establish tornado debris. The event timing follows the NWS event table, while the page notes that other NWS accounts end the track one to two minutes earlier.
