Severe WX Severe Weather Threat 3/14-3/16

It is really suspicious on why the Diaz tornado disappeared from the DAT. I wonder what’s caused that?

Also, people should not be sharing leaks from NWS Chat in here.

Anything over 15 miles long is long track in my opinion. Seems subjective, but maybe the NWS has some clandestine rule?

25-30 miles is the most common threshold range I see in literature

Here's a live view Jordan Hall captured of the slab in question literally being swept clean. I still believe Diaz was an EF5, though. I'm an original F scale purist.

Ok, there are some bulldozer marks like you said; but i’m not gonna lie; looks like some scouring is present around the slab.

Jordan Hall seems to believe the same. And got drone footage in the immediate aftermath of multiple. Quite the controversial opinion!

Diaz is the one right now that has a shot in my opinion based on the images present.

Bottom line, Bakersfield should be bare minimum low end EF4. The scale was misused because the wrong DOD was applied in surveying that home.

Jordan Hall believes a lot of things, that doesn't make them all right.

Oh for sure. I give his opinions on this a little bit of credence, though, just because he was basically there conducting aerial surveys before anyone else. Which (side note), probably isn't the most ethical thing in the world considering victim's just had their private lives scattered everywhere. Hopefully he gets permission from property owners before taking those videos.

Also the survey for the Bakersfield tornado in general is just plain bad. On the same level of inaccuracy as hackleburg was.
How’d they mess up so much?

Totally agree. The user that leaked some of the chat on Friday hasn’t posted much in here anymore since the event.

Honestly doing that should get someone a ban. That user seems to be someone on some kind of weather Wild West discord server and cross posts stuff from there onto here.

You should give HUN a little break for the Hackleburg track length discrepancy. It’s not like they had other violent tornados to survey or anything.

This event may break the top 10 in Alabama; for tornadoes in 24 hours. It'll be close.

I’m sure their has to be a rule about posting government agency stuff in a public forum like this.

Nevermind the house was cleaned up near Diaz. That is why the slab looked clean because of clean up crews. There was still debris on the foundation from the original photo.

Wonder if the clean up caused the cracking of that foundation too.

It didn't have a lot of debris on the foundation but the othe debris was right beside the house and in small stick and board piles.

A little food for thought.

I have to give credit where credit is due, that is an absolutely incredible capture by Reed.
That beast looked insane.
