The roar of the Rolling Fork tornado in this video from Aaron Rigsby is something else.
That's more terrifying than any horror movie. .

If the rabbit was white, he may have been wanting to board the Jefferson Airplane.rabbit or something else sprinting/flying
Saw that one of the DI's apparently being considered for EF4 190+ is this structure on the southwest side of town. Although I'm not sure what these kinds of buildings are usually rated (EF3 range?) from street view it hardly jumps out at me as an EF5 worthy structure:

If that thing is being considered for high end ef4 than it must have been built like a bomb shelterSaw that one of the DI's apparently being considered for EF4 190+ is this structure on the southwest side of town.

Yup. Now why are they looking to up it? It looked to have been anchored at the corners with four bolts each but like…it’s still a tin shedOn the DAT that structure is listed as EF2 damage (windspeed of 112 mph).
Wouldn’t be the first time.^I think this guy on Twitter is full of it honestly. Sounds like he's just spreading heresay and unconfirmed rumors, rather than having actual inside information. I'm taking his statements with a whole handful of salt. Regarding the slab scouring thing, it sounds to me like he's confusing nail scratch marks with something else.
I think windspeeds in the most violent of all tornadoes may possibly reach 330 to 370 mph but 500+ mph sounds utterly ridiculous.This, in fact, is really nothing new. There have been a number of attempts over at least the past couple centuries to estimate wind speed from certain types of tornado damage (e.g. debris being embedded into an iron bridge from one of the tornadoes that hit St. Louis, MO, over the decades), and many of them tended to rely on assumptions made in calculations that may or (usually more likely) may not have accurately represented the phenomena that actually took place. Many of those calculations (particularly those in the pre-Fujita Scale era) tended to produce ridiculously high wind speeds (such as the one in the Tweet), which helped to lend a sort of air of credence to the old claims of tornadoes having wind speeds exceeding 500 MPH.
Thankfully for this guy, he does preface his estimates with a warning to take them with a grain of salt. That is something to give props to for sure.
It’s not far fetched as you’d think especially when you disturb cyclostrophic balance in very low swirl ratio type vortices.I think windspeeds in the most violent of all tornadoes may possibly reach 330 to 370 mph but 500+ mph sounds utterly ridiculous.
