In addition to this, it’s also very likely that the tank did multiple revolutions around the tornadic vortex, meaning it was definitely in the air for much longer than the straight line would insinuate. Greensburg was moving at a modest forward pace and was extremely large with a very wide breadth of strong to violent damage, so I wouldn’t be surprised if the tank was in the air for several minutes. That’s pretty insane to think about.wow 7 miles thrown??
that's more insane then Moore 2013 , Vilonia 2014 , new wren 2011 and the Bakersfield 1990
orange line is the distance thrown of a oil tank.
It wasn’t just one tank either, there’s at least 8 that I’ve been able to confirm landed within Greensburg. Like you pointed out, I’m almost positive those tanks were airborne the majority of the way, which is just insane. This whole thing is still hard to wrap my head around and still a little hard to believe, but I’ll make a post later when I have time delving into it more in the Sig Tornado thread.In addition to this, it’s also very likely that the tank did multiple revolutions around the tornadic vortex, meaning it was definitely in the air for much longer than the straight line would insinuate.

Which video is this? I’m assuming the Shane Adams videos?talking about Greensburg and throwing , there is one video that shows a glowing thing being thrown by one of the wedge EF3+ after it , however its only seen for 1 second.
i cant post the video since it wont let me but here is a snipit of this thing.

I'm unsure if this is the so call police car being thrown or a ball of lightning orbiting it.
You know, I think I made a good choice putting this higher than Smithville in my Top 10 strongest tornadoes listIt wasn’t just one tank either, there’s at least 8 that I’ve been able to confirm landed within Greensburg.
