At a wider stage..

A lot of slabs, looks like granulation, major windrowing, partial debarking.

Oh my god... I just woke up and see that. Are those homes wiped clean?? That thing was incredibly powerful.

Safe to say unfortunately this thing lived up to its radar images.

Probably gonna be the strongest ever in the JKL area.

Yea, this is some of the worst damage I’ve seen since Rolling Fork at least, full stop. This thing was a monster.

getting rolling fork vibes also with the fatalities and just destruction. Such a long path also. They got their work cut out trying to find survivors.

I’m nervous to see what comes out of the areas between Somerset and London. That’s where it seemed to peak on radar.

Worst part is that this isn't even from when this beast was at its radar peak. It reached that west of downtown Somerset.

I mean, this thing was EF4+. Fourteen people are dead too; this is by far the worst tornado I’ve ever tracked (I wasn’t an enthusiast at the time Mayfield happened).

I’m still at a loss for words at why they never went with a tornado emergency; I hope somebody does a study on that soon.

Was Marion the one with the TBSS?

 

[southmdwatcher]

The beginning of the drone video starts WEST of I-75 southwest of London KY in the area where the radar seems to indicate the peak of the tornado. However, the damage was extreme in many smaller pockets east of I-75.
