I saved a bunch of loops but they'd be on my laptop which I won't be able to access for a little while, will post when I can

Very interested in that nighttime Tennessee tornado - seemed to kind of be overshadowed by everything else going on but could've been one of the most violent of the day

Cycle is the second loop

The more we hear about this event-surveys and stories included-the more baffled I am about what really happened. I mean we're approaching 30 EF2's!! That's incredible...let alone the over 10 EF3+ tornadoes with surveys still ongoing throughout the week. Just a spectacular event from a scientific POV. This is a modern-day benchmark of what a high-end tornado outbreak looks like, discounting April 27.

wholeheartedly agree. both the northern and southern ends of the threat would be particularly impressive events by themselves but the fact that they occurred not only on the same day, but at times *concurrently*, is just astounding. not very often you see EF3+ tornadoes over such a wide expanse of the country's real estate.

Most of these tornadoes weren’t long-tracked (PLs of ≥ 25 mi). Of the 38+ significant (EF2+) tornadoes, only five were long-tracked. By contrast, 4 May 2003 featured 25 F2+ events, of which 17 were long-trackers. Most of the high-end outbreaks tend to feature a higher proportion of long-tracked EF2+ tornadoes than occurred in this event. (As an extreme example, 27 Apr 2011 featured 25 EF2+ long-trackers.) Obviously, this past outbreak was still a relatively extreme event, but in terms of intense long-trackers it doesn’t stand out especially. A lot of intense short-trackers, certainly...

lol.

I don’t think anyone cares about criteria right now, this was a major outbreak. Period.

Oh would you just stop with this nit-picky nonsense.

I don’t have the data in front of me but I would guess that the vast, vast majority of tornado events don’t produce five significant, long-track tornadoes. Arguing that it’s not a major event because it doesn’t measure up to the most extreme outliers is an unreasonable level of goalpost-moving. I’m not exactly sure what point you’re trying to make here, but that’s not a good-faith argument for it.

It’s not meant to be. They want their role to be the rebellious user on the site, or they’re just trolling.

It’s all part of some kind of narrative being pushed by that particular person that climate change has rendered the big tornado outbreaks of the past essentially extinct.

What does that have to do with anything?

Did you also know that I haven't seen any tornadoes from thks outbreak that were 3/4+ mile-wide. So does that somehow make this tornado outbreak less?

That is so far anyway.
