I think the industrial buildings that were leveled (the one that briefly had EF4 170) should be have kept that rating.

Yeah that's another interesting area in Princeton, seems there's a pretty solid swath of violent damage leading up to the UK Grain Center.
Somehow this post went right over my head, but this is the home on the DAT: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.
Not the same as the other home on Carbondale Road.

It is interesting to note that the smaller slab (107 Meadowbrook Dr) looks like an outbuilding slab but it was actually a home per street view. I tried to figure out if the building with the red roof was a home or outbuilding, but trees blocking street view made determining that impossible.

Apparently there were three small tornadoes confirmed in Obion County, TN in the already short gap between the violent ones, so it was extremely close to continuous tornadic activity. Probably the closest analog we'll ever see to the March 18, 1925 event.
It probably would counted as ~one 260miles continues track in the past.

Getting away from the damage for a bit, much of the discussion in the days leading up was what kind of trough would be involved. So, did it wind up being Positive or Negative tilt?

The third area of extreme scouring has yet to be surveyed from the ground.

Do we have a confirmed number on how many tornadoes actually touched down on the 10th and 11th?

New EF4 DI in Cambridge Shores. It was given EF4 170.

At least the photos aren't sideways this time around.New EF4 DI in Cambridge Shores. It was given EF4 170.
I believe this is the home that got the most recent EF4 DI in Cambridge Shores (you can see the same tank or water heater, or whatever it is)

Am I the only one thinking that deserves higher than 170 mph? Anchor bolted into poured concrete, surrounding small trees and shrubs are blasted, still managed to nearly completely sweep the home despite some of it being built below ground level.
Yeah construction wise, the Cambridge Shores area homes were the most impressive in terms of construction quality. Plus, the sill plates above are clearly splintered and broken, and the bolts are bent. That means the connections were reasonably strong, and that the house was ripped from its foundation with a considerable amount of force. With all that taken into consideration, 170 MPH does seem quite low.

Photos of some of the other new plotted Cambridge Shores homes. These were rated EF3 and did not seem to have the best anchoring.
Talked to a homeowner in the Campbellsville area who lost her home, four barns and most of her livestock to the Saloma tornado. The survey team deemed the damage to the property EF3 (so one of the homes swept from its subflooring?) but I firmly believe that tornado should have been rated EF4.
