"hurrdurr debris impacts" so EF4. Like every murderer drinks water so we should just ban water. It's common sense, after all.What kind of winds does it take to completely bring down a 50,000 ton water town bolted to the ground? This is an object that would be immovable to you and I.
That's a bit egregious. Smithville would have been rated EF5, however I doubt Philadelphia or Rainsville would be. Hackleburg would be very close. Probably 200> rather than 210. I also believe El Reno-Piedmont would be deemed EF4.I would be shocked if even Smithville got an EF5 rating today.
I can say with certainty I don't think Hackleburg would have gotten an EF5 rating today. The construction quality and context in a lot of areas would have been nitpicked to death.That's a bit egregious.

The water tower in Mayfield was actually horribly anchored with only 2 anchor bolts holding down each span.

Maybe construction is robbing another violent tornado of EF5 status???Also, the Mayfield etc tornado may not have (at least officially, to the best of our limited knowledge of the exact nature of the 1925 event) dethroned the Tri-State Tornado for longest track ever; it did dethrone the April 24, 2010 Louisiana-Mississippi tornado (another tornado that was almost certainly substantially more intense than its official 170 MPH low-end EF4, but in this case there's not much controversy regarding the rating of the actual damage observed, it just didn't hit much outside of clipping Yazoo City) as the longest-tracked tornado in the NEXRAD era.
And according to the DI chart for an institutional building, the expected value that the such damage occurs at is 210 mph. I certainly think the UK research facility qualifies as an IB.

The first long-tracked tornado from the Quad-State Supercell (the AR-MO-TN track) has now been upgraded to EF4 as well.
I have little doubt Newbern-Dresden, TN and Saloma, KY were also violent tornadoes.On the bright side, at least most if not all of the other violent tornadoes of the night are being rated as such instead of all being 150-165mph EF3s.
Ahh yeah, I forgot about those two. Are they still preliminary or is the EF3 rating finalized?I have little doubt Newbern, TN and Saloma, KY were also violent tornadoes.
I believe they're still preliminary.Ahh yeah, I forgot about those two. Are they still preliminary or is the EF3 rating finalized?
I believe they're still preliminary.
