Significant Tornado Events - Global Edition

Alright, I’ve been mapping out the Guarapuava F3 via image overlaying and geolocation and I will say that I am 100% sure it was both stronger and longer-tracked than the Rio tornado. Some things I’ve found:
  • Evidence of debarked trees (can’t remember the name) that are reportedly stronger than Mesquite trees
  • Significant cycloidal scouring in a field SW of Guarapuava
  • Large metal object (combine-ish) crumpled and appears to have been possibly wrapped around a pole
  • A triangular grove of trees S of Guarapuava was literally erased off the map, while the imagery isn’t sharp the grove disappeared between October 23 and November 12 imagery
  • Scouring as the tornado moved into the Nova Geracao community
  • Possible evidence of rapid intensification near the end of the tornado’s visible path, with a (separate from the above) grove of trees being destroyed in a flared-out fashion. Not 100% sure whether this is tornadic or not.
And a few other things that I don’t have images for. I can attach things shortly, I’m currently on the move and won’t be back home for a few hours.

That first point...if that's accurate, I think a new unofficial F5 candidate just dropped.
