Cookeville, TN EF4 of 2020 will always be a shining example of this. One can never dismiss the severity of a tornado based on its radar signature.Also that tiny, two-pixel couplet that hit Manning, SC yesterday has been rated EF2. Goes to show even tiny circulations can drop strong tornadoes.
I've been noticing this same thing. Almost every setup this year has turned into an outbreak of strong tornadoes. We've still got a lot of tornado season to get through, and I'm concerned about what late April through May will bring.I know 2011 comparisons are somewhat verboten due to the extreme outcome that occurred, but something about the way this year has been going reminds me of that. When even "imperfect" setups consistently produce significant events, it's not a good sign. Anyone remember 4/4 (over 1,300 wind reports), 4/19 (Girard, IL EF3, over 1,000 total reports) and 4/22 (St. Louis area EF4)?
Probably EF4 damage. I suspect they’ll likely sleep on it before upgrading tomorrow.Some cleanup has no doubt occurred in the last day but seeing multiple clean slabs in those aerial pics from Ellabell area. "At least EF3" wording + pretty high end DIs makes me very curious as to what ground surveyors have found.
