Hate to be "that guy", but that would be Bedminster, Pennsylvania.

No worries, I appreciate the correction.

I mean... I know these are softwoods and all but it looks like MAYBE they could have gone EF3? There is clearly some lower-end debarking in the first photo.

 

[Equus]

BMX rated a 3/25 tornado EF3 for tree damage at that level or a little less impressive, really wonder why they didn't go higher on that

 

[Equus]

Another EF2 added in Perry county, up to five now in central AL

MOB appears to be at least six or seven, JAN will have a looooong way to go still

 

[buckeye05]

Agreed. Yeah those are softwoods, but the 100% deforestation and presence of debarking makes think an argument for EF3 could definitely be made.

 

[Equus]

Yeah the precedent at BMX for 100% pine snapping in a broad swath has usually been 140ish on multiple occasions so I hope that's considered for a potential increase at some point

 

[buckeye05]

The fatal Alford, FL tornado has been rated mid-EF3, with estimated winds of 150 MPH.

I’m trying to remember the most recent Florida EF3. I think it was the Lloyd, FL tornado in 2019? Same day as the Beauregard EF4 irrc.

Do you have a picture of the damage they rated EF3?

Do you have a picture of the damage they rated EF3?

They’re on the DAT. Was based on a brick home sustaining total roof and exterior wall loss, and a more poorly-built CMU foundation home that was completely swept away across the street.

Centreville tornado upgraded to EF3

 

[Equus]

Brings it perfectly into line with the 3/25 tornadoes last year in regards to tree damage, awesome to see.
