I’d definitely say that those long track violent Iowa tornadoes were definitely the high light of the day.

I can only guess not knowing the floorplan, but modern homes are big on open spaces; this could have been an entrance hall. The missing portion could have been essentially open from floor to roof with a cathedral ceiling. Those are almost always made by stacking two normal-height walls up, leaving a great weakness in the middle. I'm sure more details will emerge with the survey.

The total will likely reach eight or more once the Ellendale DE event is counted. Adamsville–Clifton and Covington TN, along with Wynne AR, probably produced EF3+ damage somewhere. If the Stinesville IN tornado were rated EF3+ and counted separately from the Sullivan event, the total would certainly be even higher. In all this outbreak likely generated more than twenty EF2+ tornadoes.

Stinesville was most likely a separate one from sullivan. Tupelo MS and Readville TN also likely produced EF3 damage. We still didn't see much from Turrell one.
And yes, Covington had some quite nasty tree damage
Wynne destroyed quite well built reinforced CMU structure building

Not expecting an ef4 rating though. As the high end ef3 structures weren’t anchored well at all

Yep, seems like the SPC have almost mastered the art of storm prediction.
I have a feeling that for now on going forward we’re going to see a lot fewer high risk.
This is both good and bad, the good part being the SPC having the knowledge now of when a high risk is truly necessary.
The bad is that when a high risk is issued, the chance of a bust is almost 0.

There’s a new track for the Palestine tornado. It’s an ef3. I wonder if it and the Sullivan tornado will be connected

I wonder if one of the tornadoes from the Sullivan storm will eventually be rated EF4. I remember seeing somewhere a two storey house was destroyed, with some significant contextual damage. Can't remember which tornado that was though.
Yeah, based on my own uneducated guess, we may have one or two more storms from Friday with the chance to be rated EF4. I think there may still be some DIs coming from the southern mode that could yield an upgrade. I mean one EF4 during an outbreak isn’t anything to sneeze at as well.

Speaking of the Sullivan tornado, I still haven't seen any damage photos from Robinson, IL - per the DAT it made a direct hit on a cluster of homes (some fairly sizeable) at N 1100th St and Deer Creek Rd. There were also fatalities in that area.
