I would probably go a little stronger on the winds for the Cookeville tornado placing it at mid to high-end EF4.because the damage surveys for the march 3 2020 tornado outbreak is the most complete and thorough set of surveys ive ever seen on the dat.
they didnt want to have 4 tornadoes rated ef4. both defiance and bowling green were pushing EF4I still wonder how did Bowling Green not get an EF4 rating.
agreedSaloma 100% should have been rated EF4.
THANKSIt still works on the DAT. The overlay in the "Add Data" section is "gray_sky_2021_nadir" by jonathan.
Yep they did for the industrial building that was flattened.Didn't they add an EF4 DI to the DAT for Bowling Green and then remove it within a few hours?

How in the hell is this EF3, 145 mph? No way, absolutely no way.Saloma 100% should have been rated EF4.
instresting. the damage in mayfield is incredibly weird. the tornado managed to completely level many structures in the downtown section but left so many residential structures standing. many with their roofs intact. either those commerical buildings werent nearly as strong. the homes are made of titanium, or the tornado was a very complex multi vortex that peaked over down town and weakened after leaving it....The Mayfield Manor Apartments is one of the many DIs that are unlisted on DAT. One of these apartments was partially swept away. The roofing system apparently had a cold-formed steel frame. Another construction detail is that it apparently had 1/4 inch anchor bolts (with nuts and bolts) with 50.5" (4.2 ft) spacing on exterior walls and 33" (2.75 ft) spacing on interior walls in a concrete slab-on-grade foundation. This building was likely struck by a sub-vortex considering the lack of equally severe damage to nearby structures. While I don't think this structure could result in an EF5 rating, I do think it was likely an EF4 DI.
