Portions of Lubbock,Texas,were struck by a powerful multiple-vortex tornado after nightfall on May 11,1970,resulting in 26 fatalities and at least $135 million in damage. It was in its time the costliest tornado in U.S. history,damaging nearly 9,000 homes and inflicting widespread damage to businesses,high-rise buildings,and public infrastructure. The tornado's damage was surveyed by meteorologist Ted Fujita in what researcher Thomas P. Grazulis described as "the most detailed mapping ever done,up to that time,of the path of a single tornado." Originally,the most severe damage was assigned an F6 rating on the Fujita scale,making it one of only two tornadoes to receive the rating. Later,it was downgraded to an F5 rating after Fujita declared F6 damage was "inconceivable". The extremity of the damage and the force required to displace heavy objects as much as was observed indicated that winds produced by vortices within the tornado may have reached as high as 290 mph (470 km/h).
