Now think about it on this scale of things... One mile = 5280 feet. An average modern hunting recurve sends arrows out at 260-280 FPS. For a recurve, that means average 180 miles per hour... The average arrow speed of the English longbows of the Hundred Years War was around 100-120mph. So THAT means that what happened to these armored French knights was the equivalent of being hit by a high end F1/low end F2 tornado that had just shredded a bunch of flimsy wooden farm buildings... And that was the fate of these knights...
On this scale, it is safe to assume that if anyone was to be caught in the open, in the path of even an F1 or low F2 tornado with debris in the funnel and inflow, the chances of survival of that person is pretty much 0%... And that is just an F1-F2. We are not even remotely close to the F4-F5 monsters like the ones that struck Tuscaloosa, Jarrell, and Joplin. The Jarrell monster was 3/4 miles wide, with 315mph rotation, and 400+mph subvortices inside the main funnel. In Jarrell, investigators discovered that entire herds of cattle had been rendered into paste, bones ground to pebbles and splattered everywhere in a thin sheet. Rendered as if by an industrial grinder and mixing vat combined...
Same goes with hurricanes. Category 2+ plus debris are essentially meatgrinders...
my thoughts exactly.
