Brief and weak 2001 Russian tornado

First image is 2001 and second is 2020. 59°39'38.80"N 77°29'53.94"E. With how insane this is zoomed out(I thought it was a river at first) it's probably not undiscovered, let me know if this got rated

Most violent tornado motion ever(300+ mph)? 2013 Shawnee tornado

Jim Bishop's video of the Shawnee tornado over Lake Thunderbird is easily the most violent motion I've ever seen in a tornado. At 3:55, there is a piece of debris that crosses the diameter of the funnel in about 3 seconds(seen in the bottom right), and on the DAT the tornado is about half a mile wide(funnel probably around 1/3 of a mile). I need help figuring out the actual wind speed recorded by this video, because simply 1/3 of a mile in 3 seconds is 400 MILES PER HOUR, and that doesn't account for circular motion.
