Severe WX April 1-2 (overnight) Severe Weather Event

[Shakespeare 2016]

A sack of flour was also carried 110 miles by the Great Bend F4 which is really impressive. I wonder how it stayed intact.

Have they been out to finalize the surveys from Wed event? Curious if we get an EF4 upgrade to the Lake City, AR tornado or Selmer, TN tornado.

Won’t soon forget that late night a couple of supercells made me wide awake and followed along with others ..

Selmer was definitely the deadliest, claiming 5 lives.

So far, from all the tornadoes that occurred, Selmar, TN and Lake City/Monette, AR have the best chance of being rated EF4 in my opinion.

Slayden-grand junction tornado didn’t really hit a lot like selmer. Did kill 2 though. @AJS

 

[Kds86z]

The town literally became a farmland. No homes, no foundations, nothing, everything is gone. Just kidding!!!

Not really something to joke about tbh.

Thank goodness it didn’t hit much. Unfortunately what it did hit managed to cause fatalities and that’s heartbreaking.

Yep we will know more after surveys @AJS I could be wrong but I know it’s a rural area.

Slayden is an unincorporated community. Grand junction 325 population. 2 fatalities from mobile home in that area.

Selmer though has 5,000. That was very unfortunate and the biggest impact of the week. Radar showed it intensifying further as it approached town. @AJS

If none of the April 2-3rd tornadoes receive an EF4 rating it’ll be the first time since March 17 2021 that a high risk day didn’t produce a confirmed EF4 tornado.
The April 2nd high risk technically extends through the morning of the 3rd so technically selmer and all those morning intense tornadoes are still high risk tornadoes.

I am certain that the Lake City, AR tornado will receive an EF4 rating.

 

[tornado examiner]

I am certain that the Lake City, AR tornado will receive an EF4 rating.

It’s, possible. The 150mph rating was literally just a rating assigned based on the minimum general look of the damage done, not based on any one DI cause of how limited their survey time was due to ongoing storms. I think that’s a first actually…for a violent tornado.

 

[tornado examiner]

I am certain that the Lake City, AR tornado will receive an EF4 rating.

That tree damage alone would do it if they were allowed to assign violent ratings for tornadoes on tree damage alone.
But it seems like it only applies for anything less than EF4. Otherwise they need an EF4 structural di.
