I’ve never heard anybody reference a number that high talking about a couplet before, not in a few years of lurking on various weather boards anyway. I know when we had a tornado outbreak here in NC a couple springs ago, including one EF3, the highest couplet numbers reported were around 160 knots. Close on to 300 knots of shear like that is impossible for me to even imagine.

I can't either. This is like a science fiction type level.
