Oh I doubt EF5 for sure, there just aren't EF5 DIs down that way; am just wondering if any EF4 DIs would be recognized

There is so many tornadoes that get underrated due to them not hitting anything. I can almost guarantee one of those at least was an EF5 if not both at one time. Glad these didn't hit a major metropolitan area. Praying for those effected.

I would love to see the number of F4/F5 tornadoes if rated on the old scale from 4/27/11, I believe it would have rivaled or eclipsed the 30 from 4/3/74... new scale makes it difficult to compare numbers in recent outbreaks to pre-Enhanced Fujita Scale events.
Tree and vehicle damage from the Bassfield/Soso path supports EF4 from what I've seen, comparable to Beauregard last year. I'd be hard pressed to say they won't find anything structurally that will support that along the path given its length and width, even in rural S MS.
Speaking of intense vegetation damage, this near Bassfield is absolutely gnarly.

SPC did a great job with the forecast!

Wow at that tornado in Mississippi.

Quite a few of those "wind damage" reports in Georgia and South Carolina will eventually be tornado reports I'm sure.

Carbon Hill tornado EF-1 with ~100 mph winds.
According to Jason Simpson, NWS HUN has confirmed the Boaz, AL tornado as an EF-2.

Among those many wind events in georgia, I remember seeing at least 10 TDS' on radar. I'm almost certain the number of reports, even filtered, is going to go up significantly come a couple more days. Many survey teams have multiple areas to look at, so it may take some time.

Numerous confirmed TDS tracks aren't even on the SPC page yet (several in north/central AL and a massive number in Georgia) - will turn out to be an extremely prolific event

I'm really interested, and somewhat scared, to see what DIs come out of the Furman/Cummings SC tornado. Despite how strong the storms were in MS, I get the impression that some of the most high end DIs are going to be on that tornado.

Yeah, that's where I got my number from. Pretty sure there's even more scattered throughout the state, I was awake until about 11 am covering them all.

Looks like Anchor bolts. Wondering about the construction of this house in Walthall County. This is about 20 miles to the Southwest of Bassfield. The preliminary rating of this tornado is "at least EF-2", and I'd imagine it will probably go up after seeing this. I do have a question though; if the home was swept, how would the floor remain partially in tact like in this house, and how could that affect the rating?
