Severe WX December 10 & 11, 2021 Severe Threat

This is exactly the sort of thing I have been incensed about for years, what's the point of the expected and upper bound if the rule is "always default to lowest bound possible"? I have even seen on at least two occasions a WFO actually rating below the lowest bound wind speed estimate possible on the EF chart. It's killing my confidence in the application of the scale.

Perhaps the long trackers get the ratings they deserve and my rants prove to be unfounded, finally, but the precedent has been horrible for so long I don't have a ton of hope

Yeah, this is what I brought up earlier.
 
I went ahead and uploaded a Google Drive folder with all my GR Level 3 screenshots from this event. When I have time I'll hook up my phone and add all my RadarScope screenshots, mostly from KHPX after it stopped updating on GR Level 3 for some stupid reason (after KPAH was already down for everybody).

First grab of the eventual quad-state supercell is from LZK at 2354 UTC. At 0029/0031 from NQA is when it showed that dramatic BWER which I remarked reminded me of the early stages of the Cullman tornado from 4/27. At 0259 from PAH is when the debris signature explodes again just before Cayce, KY and starting at 0317 is when it starts to approach Mayfield.

Unfortunately I went to bed before the Bowling Green tornado.

Can we all agree now which was the most intensive supercell ever? I remember reading a discussion between the storm that produce the Bowdle, South Dakota tornado, while others argued that it was the one responsible for the El Reno 2013 tornado. They are no match for what happened last Friday/Saturday, IMO.

El Reno 2013 was a different breed of insanity.
 
High quality drone video of the Cambridge Shores/Kentucky Lake area damage. Multiple large homes swept away, subflooring and all, with only their walk-out basement foundations remaining.

Video was taken by chaser, Michael Gordon. I'm in awe of this footage. It's about as up close and clear of a shot as anyone could get of a violent nighttime tornado.

This is going to be remembered as one of the most spectacular nighttime videos of a violent tornado ever taken. The only ones that come close are some of the videos taken of the Garland/Rowlett, TX EF4, which was actually another December event.
