Severe Weather Threat May 17-19, 2025

I'd argue all the 5 EF3 produced by the Greensburg-Plevna tor were violent at some point in there life.
Here's the tree damage from the first one

The Greensburg one that prompted a TORE


The one near Haviland


The one near Iuka

Is that ground scouring produced by the Haviland one? If so, that’s pretty remarkable.

Def the Plevna tor, then the Haviland one I think

 

[AJS]

Def the Plevna tor, then the Haviland one I think

I think Grinnell and Plevna were the most violent of the day.

 

[eric11]

I think Grinnell and Plevna were the most violent of the day.

oh you mean the whole outbreak, that's absolutely Grinnell and Plevna

 

[Kds86z]

oh you mean the whole outbreak, that's absolutely Grinnell and Plevna

Yeah. I said Plevna as the signature was insane. Grinnell was radar hole though. Can you imagine this in daytime and the roar up close?

 

[AJS]

oh you mean the whole outbreak, that's absolutely Grinnell and Plevna

Agreed. Grinnell and Plevna I imagine will be rated EF4. But I don’t have high hopes with Grinnell due to how the survey is lookin right now lol.

 

[Atlantic]

Well. The tornadoes were incredible! That’s for sure!

[Kds86z]

Good times yall lol

 

[Atlantic]

Good times yall lol

Good times indeed! This was an interesting event to say the least.

 

[Kds86z]

Good times indeed! This was an interesting event to say the least.

We won’t see it again for a while my friend! The Kansas crazy supercdll after dark @Atlantic

It was pretty unreal seeing a massive tornado heading right for Greensburg. I can’t even imagine the trauma the residents were facing.

 

[Grand Poo Bah]

Oh my lord, just found this DI from the Grinnell survey:
View attachment 43027
This is a 112 mph EF2 DI with zero comment on how the house disappeared and instead chose to focus on damage to neighboring homes. This is one of the worst surveys I’ve ever seen.

Oh, and it gets a lot better! Here’s a 113 mph EF2 DI to the north they just added:

Is it safe to say Goodland is the most unreliable NWS office when it comes to ratings?

Me holding in my feelings about this survey like:

 

[Kds86z]

Yeah dude. Imagine rebuilding everything and it could all be wiped away again. I’d need counseling lol

 

[Atlantic]

I have a brief clip from Morganfield from Weatherwise during the Morganfield TOR warning;

 

[Kds86z]

Yeah dude. Imagine rebuilding everything and it could all be wiped away again. I’d need counseling lol

And don’t forget Moore. Hit twice by ef5. That was crazy to watch in 2013..

 

[Grand Poo Bah]

I'll just say it's pretty wild how some of the strongest EF5 candidates of the last few years were mostly rated EF3. The high end EF4 rating is reserved for storms that actually deserve that exact rating. Anything stronger, and it's rated lower. Way lower.
