JAN has gone liberal again. We're back to pre-2014 ratings it seems. This is good news. Though to be fair, nothing really liberal about that rating. An anchor-bolted home was leveled and partially swept away. Any time that happens, an EF4 rating should always be applied, given contextual support of course.
What is the deal with these ridiculously wide tornadoes?
I guess that's what I'm trying to say. Some may interpret it as "liberal", when in reality it's just correct use of the scale.They're using the EF-scale in the way it was intended to be used, not inventing stupid reasons for tornadoes to not be rated the way they should be.
Anchorage bolts ripped off the foundation of a decently built home I would think indicate violent damage.Using the EF scale as it was originally intended, it is about right; I can think of some offices where this would've wound up mid to high EF3 though, which is definitely lower than such damage should wind up given contextual factors.
Had this occured 20 to 30 years ago anchor bolts being ripped off the foundation of a decently constructed home likely would have been rated F5 on the original F scale.We've seen way more of that this month than I'm comfortable with really
I don't think it was a bust if you're judging the general prognosis made by many contributing members here. Seems like the expectation that there was a credible threat but not as substantial as Easter was pretty spot on.Would you guys consider this event a "bust' even though we did have one strong, long track tornado?

I don't know if the stats line up with moderate risk SPC category but I do think moderate issuance was acceptable. It would be even more appropriate had Easter been a high risk.
