Severe WX Severe Threat 25 March 2021

In my opinion Newnan might be more than Low end EF4. Because they haven’t even finished the surveys yet in the town and there was probably a lot of EF4 damage

I don't know a lot of EF4 damage probably would have caused more casualties. I was hoping that didn't kill anyone but unfortunately that did happen. It could have been much worse although.

Brent probably had massive potential and probably will be upgraded

Low to mid EF4 seems probable for Brent, a few instances of tree/structural damage have seemed quite impressive though nothing to warrant an EF5 rating. Unless I've missed something and of course surveys are still ongoing, though as time passes the chances of there being potential EF5 damage points becomes slimmer.

Newnan based on radar DEFINANTLY had EF5 potential

Most likely. The home swept away appears to have had its subflooring ripped away and left mostly intact, which may be an indication of poor anchoring, and the debris is large and hasn't really been wind-rowed away from the structure.

I think the Brent and Newnan tornadoes were probably capable of EF5 damage somewhere along their paths. The radar return from the debris ball on both tornadoes was absolutely scary.

Meanwhile the first tornado from the Newnan supercell that hit south of Clanton caused some significant problems, damaged water pumps for the city and caused some significant structural and tree damage as it started over the lake.

I wouldn't doubt Newnan was also capable of causing EF5 damage at some points along the path. Particularly when the tornado was showing the most extreme velocity signatures outside of town.

From what I heard from a guy on Twitter he said debris from the Newnan tornado was lofted over 15,000 feet into the air and that would be consistent with an EF3 tornado. However, of course Newnan was rated an EF4. I am not sure how debris being lofted into the air necessarily has anything to do with the intensity but I would think there would be at least some correlation.
