The tornado in that photo looks photoshopped from a waterspout that appeared at night over Lake Ochechobee in National Geographic.

I can see an argument for low EF2 based on what Nick sent and also damage to an animal-home-thingy.

Not as bad as it could've been thankfully but regardless still impactful
It's genuinely sickening recording people at their lowest, when they're injured and in bad condition. And even lying about the fact there was nothing wrong assured with it? I've never been a fan of CMSC but this is just even furthering the fact that he's a POS.

Think flat rock IL was stronger than Bloomington.
There’s also a large volume of misinformation out there now during and after events. Which seems to be a recent phenomenon. How many tweets got posted last night of yesterday’s “tornados” that turned out to be from other events or just blatantly fake?

Easily; Bloomington was probably low-end EF2 while New Hebron (same tor as Flat Rock) is a possible EF3 candidate.

Bloomington tornado rated EF2 with 120-mph peak winds.

I guess the radar signature was bigger than its bite. I did see a X post show it had some side lobe contamination. Glad this wasn’t worse, and only on ground 9 minutes.

That’s a little surprising. Was expecting EF2 to EF3.

Yeah, this is why I'm very weary of what I see. During Melissa, there was AI photos going around of the so called destruction when it was just a fake image of a destroyed area. This happened with the Selmer tornado last year with the supposed "death toll", reports came around that at least 7 died when that same person who said it had mixed it up with the 3/31/23 tornado. The amount of fake images going around yesterday after the Bloomington tor were wild. The Internet is not a place where you can easily trust things anymore.

That’s why. I was confused. All. I saw online were mobile homes damaged.

Same, but I think the house mightve not been the one I geolocated (I had 2 images to go off, both were extremely dark) and instead a mobile home to the south of it.

Guess we’ll squeeze one Ef2 out of this event.
