It seems like Incredible Phenomena tends to happen with violent tornadoes of mid to high-end EF4+ intensity.Yes... Just watched that part and came on here to comment.
1. What on earth was that polling thing? Some people were seriously suggesting a cracked foundation of a well built home should be rated EF2. To me, that is pretty ridiculous. I didn't quite understand what that was though, so if I am misunderstanding, please correct me.
2. The trees. This part really frustrated me. The trees were not right next to the structure (if I remember correctly). This sounds awfully 'I know more than NWS' and I apologise, but surely they must know that the strongest wind core can be narrow. and stuff like that, with the strongest winds being in one place and not a little distance away?
This as well. I noticed at the beginning they said 'surveying has changed in the past 10 years, we are learning more etc'. However, I must agree that change seems to be some idea of normal or generally well-built houses not being rated EF5, which occurred I would think after Vilonia (at least aided by it). They showed a comparison to a home in Cambridge Shores with some debris on the foundation, and a home in what I think was the Moore 2013 tornado, saying this is what EF5 damaged looks like etc, when some of the homes in Bremen looked like that, and were generally well built. shown on the same presentation.
Sorry for this jumbled rant. I hope that at least some of my points managed to come across, but this will be staying in my head for a while...
I wonder maybe, with vehicle + other DIs being added, we may see some change, I'm not sure though.
