By the way, I think the violence of this outbreak is underrated. I'll have to check my notes after work but several F3s were probably F4. And of course, Atlantic (which devastated an Amish community) was so ferocious.

I wouldn't be surprised if the Moshannon Forest F4 was the strongest of the outbreak.

I've no doubt the Barrie F4 was actually an F5 after seeing enough damage pics from it, one of the few verifiable F5s outside of the USA. Kane, Tionesta Atlantic & Moshannon were easily F5s they just didn't hit anything capable of registering it. Sometimes I wonder if the Kane F4 was actually stronger than the Moshannon Forest F4, if only briefly when it went through the Tionesta Scenic Area.

I'd have to go back through the thread, but Loco's damage pics from Atlantic, Tionesta, and Kane are all extremely impressive.

Someone else here asked if a similar outbreak would ever be possible in this state again.
I really wouldn't like to see more analysis of the 1944 Appalachians outbreak and, a real obscure one, the 5/2/1929 outbreak

That dropped multiple significant tornadoes east of the Blue Ridge in Maryland and Virginia. I live just north of the affected areas in Maryland. This area RARELY gets significant tornadoes- as in, less than western Pennsylvania. Information on either outbreak is scanty

That’s (iirc) the only tornado outbreak to kill people in downtown Columbus, Ohio. The ‘71 and ‘73 tornadoes didn’t move through that area.Someone else here asked if a similar outbreak would ever be possible in this state again.

A Tornado outbreak with tornadoes in deep east Tennessee, southwest VA, Florida, Columbus, and central Maryland on the same day deserves more attention
