Here is Grazulis' entry on it. While officially rated F4 he lists it as an F5 in Significant Tornadoes - and it's easy to see why.

The more videos I watch of it the more I realize what the people in the Tri-state tornado saw before it hit them. How fast that mile wide tornado moves is insane. By the time you realized that you were looking at a tornado it was too late even if it was a few miles off.

I agree completely with the parent thunderstorm being so close to the ground and I can't imagine how it looked coming directly at you

Damage to farm equipment from a long-track tornado that occurred in Russia's Rostov region on May 14, 2016. While the tornado got an F3 rating and most of the structural damage seemed to fall within that range, I feel the damage it did to this equipment is overlooked and impressive for a tornado outside the United States.

Extremely impressive videos of the 2009 Krasnozavodsk F3.

Some more tornado videos from outside of North America:

A small F1 tornado that hit Kolpino, St. Petersburg, Russia in 2010. Check out the car being picked up in the second video:




EXTREME up close footage of the Dolores, Uruguay F3 tornado:

That second video of the Dolores tornado is pretty amazing.

That second video of the Dolores tornado is pretty amazing.

It tracked for at least 16 miles and produced EF3 (some people say it was EF4) damage in the town of Dolores.

The way that car gets spun around like a top in that second Russian video is almost comical.

I was wondering if someone may have aerial damage views from the Harper, KS May 12, 2004 tornado? Thank you very much!!

Damage from the 1980 Kalamazoo tornado

On this day in 2010, the only high-end EF3 west of the continental divide struck rural areas of northern Arizona. Large metal transmission towers were downed and one was ripped from its concrete footing. The NWS estimated the winds could be as high as 165 mph. This was apart of a much larger significant tornado outbreak in Arizona.

Some photos from Sayler Park:

The tornado. You can get an idea of just how narrow this thing was as it was about to sweep away homes in Sayler Park.


Remains of a block foundation home.

The tornado showed some evidence of debris granulation and (possible?) ground scouring

Also, some more videos from the October 2010 tornado outbreak in Arizona

Does anybody have any ultra-obscure or impressive images of damage from the New Richmond Cyclone, especially those outside of town. Thanks.

The 2011 Springfield tornado produced some impressive damage in the Brimfield area.
