Chapman should've been an EF5. There's no way an EF4 would have done that to those railroad tracks.I fear Vilonia is what set the unfortunate precedent of nit-picky lowballing. Obviously haven't seen very many EF5 candidates in recent years but since then, leveled houses being rated EF2 for example is happening waaay more than it oughta.
I'm sure that same met, if in charge of the NHC, would have held Michael at a category 3 because of "precedent" for landfalling east Gulf hurricanes despite sanity and all available data
