Forward speed

There is a disagreement between editors whether the forward speed of the tornado can be mentioned.

Support - Per WP:CALC. There is reliable sources (multiple) which state it was "slow moving" and we have a source giving the exact start/end times. While a source does not directly state the forward speed, WP:CALC says, "Routine calculations do not count as original research...calculating a person's age, is almost always permissible." This is basically like calculating a person's age, given we know the exact start/end time of the tornado as well as the distance traveled.
