Severe WX December 10 & 11, 2021 Severe Threat

What's the wind speed of it? Also that house looks like it might have been under-construction or very new.

Yeah I noticed the same. Looks like the sod hasn’t event been layed down for the lawn. Whatever the case, it looks like the garage portion of the house was thoroughly bolted down. Can’t say the same about the rest though.

Something I noticed around some of the masonry buildings in downtown Mayfield is that the vegetation damage isn't as extreme as in SW Mayfield.

I feel like it's going to be difficult to produce the same level of destruction to vegetation in a less open area like that.
 
Also looks like that house in Carbondale was surveyed. Looks like the slab was the result of cleanup and considering all the shrubbery around the home is fine, it probably was not a well-built home.

I'm not sure I'd infer that given the First Christian Church and First Presbyterian Church suffered more complete damage and were in the core.

Yeah that’s a fair assessment I’d say. Presbyterian church seems too have gotten it the worst. I wonder if the level of destruction at the Methodist church was more due to the tall, wide, and flat profile of the sanctuary exterior catching the wind.

New EF4 DI in Cambridge Shores. I know, I know, it's the dreaded subflooring, but the photo shows closely spaced proper anchor bolts and sill plating all around the foundation .

Worth noting this is well away from the core of the damage path as well, the tree damage in particular is considerably less intense around that house.

How do you enable the satellite imagery on the DAT? Does that feature require an account?

Go to the add data tab on that, search "gray sky", filter by Date. It should be "gray sky nadir 2021" by Jonathan.
 
At work right now so I can’t look, but can anyone tell me what the damage in and around Cayce, KY was rated? I’m still unclear on that.

Still EF3. That gas station that was supposedly slabbed was already an empty foundation before the tornado.

Ooooh ok. There was definitely more that one empty foundation in that area though, along with intense scouring. Haven’t gotten a close look at the construction in that area, but EF3 seems questionable to say the least.

On the private DAT that Memphis accidentally leaked there was a single EF4 DI in the area.
