Looks like a new tornado may form (if it hasn't already) due west of Union City, TN about to cross into KY.

Per KFVS, tornado lasted about 117 miles.

Pretty sure that's the same storm.

definite increase in rotation again

Yep. Latest SPC MD @Clancy posted above noted it may cycle and based on radar appears to have done so over the last 15-20 minutes.

That tornado is easily 1/2 mile wide and probably larger.

Heading for Cayce (birthplace of John Luther "Casey" Jones, for which he received his nickname).

Considering that it (very luckily) didn't hit Caruthersville head-on I honestly doubt it. That's not at all to say that it isn't an intense, probably violent tornado.

I know we have the longest stretch between (E)F-5s in history right now. That said, I know we've had December EF-4s. But the only 2 December (E)F-5s I can find are from Vicksburg, MS (05-Dec-53) & Sunfield, IL (18-Dec-57).
