1. **State the problem:** We need to find the wind speed $s$ when the tornado traveled a distance $d=27.1$ miles using the model:
$$s = 93\log(d) + 65$$
2. **Recall the formula and rules:** The formula uses the logarithm function $\log(d)$, which is the base-10 logarithm. We will substitute $d=27.1$ into the formula.
3. **Calculate the logarithm:**
$$\log(27.1) \approx 1.4330$$
4. **Substitute and simplify:**
$$s = 93 \times 1.4330 + 65$$
5. **Multiply:**
$$s = 133.269 + 65$$
6. **Add:**
$$s = 198.269$$
7. **Round to the nearest hundredth:**
$$s \approx 198.27$$
**Final answer:** The wind speed $s$ is approximately **198.27 mph**.
