You're comparing objectively extremely powerful, high-end F5/EF5 tornadoes to Rochelle, which was high-end EF4 intensity (190) at most

The most striking part of all these photos is the complete lack of bark resulting in a shiny appearance. It’s a hallmark of violent tornadoes.

Not every tornado is gonna produce damage like these extremely high end EF5s bro. There’s a reason those 3 are considered the most violent ever recorded. But that doesn’t change the fact that Rochelle produced numerous EF5 hallmarks.

Windrowing caused by Greenfield, and majority of Greenfield's homes were unanchored CMUs

There is literally photo evidence of shrubs being debarked. Its on Facebook unfortunately so I gotta dig deep for it. Might be on this forum

Again, not every tornado is gonna produce similar damage and Greenfield was undoubtedly a very violent tornado. Plus, it produced pretty severe debarking/vehicle damage.
Go on. Disprove my 14 years of note taking that concluded with me finding that deep, grass removing, bare soil exposing scouring only occurs within areas of total structural obliteration. Find me one, clear cut, high resolution photo that makes me eat crow. I’d absolutely love to see it.

By numerous you mean none, also unrelated to this post, but COWS can literally eat up grass, so grass scouring is not as impressive as yall are preaching about

How do you know the winds weren’t higher but the houses couldn’t register that level of damage. Greenfield was measured to have some of the strongest winds ever recorded.

Are you trying to be funny?

The debarking were heavily debris loaded so not that impressive, and the vehicle damage from Greenfield were admittingly severe, but nothing more than that
This GrenadinesDes person is trolling. I also suspect it’s a sock puppet account to another user who usually posts on here but I’m not 100% sure on that.
If it’s who I suspect it is, they were already banned once for having two accounts.

No, yall are saying its hard to pull out grass when cows can literally do it without any issue, so grass scouring, or any type of ground scouring, shouldn't be considered proofs of higher end intensity.
LMAO that is such a pathetic reach it’s funny. That has absolutely nothing in common with the mechanics within a tornado that produces grass scouring and you know it. Again, it doesn’t matter what can happen in theory. What matters it what happens in real life most of the time.

Im not trolling?? Just because im expressing an opinion yall are against doesn't make me a troll or sockpuppet, that's an extremely stupid mindset

Moving on, buckeye in your opinion what are hallmarks of very high end extremely violent tornadoes, things like lawn scouring for example?

What’s stupid is you mentioning how easy cows can rip up grass and how that basically means we should neglect ground/grass scouring as a hallmark of a remarkably violent tornado.

Either that or they’re 10 and signed up with dad’s email. Also, cow scouring is not a valid DI in the Ef scale.

Because ground scouring is unreliable due to their being several complicated factors going into them, and also the cow part is relevant because it shows that grass can easily be pulled up
Sure, guy. Hop on the other burner account did we? I’m not going further down this rabbit hole but the fact that you need to switch accounts so often is odd.
