Isn’t talked about a lot but this ef2 killedwoman in Indiana.

 

[tornado examiner]

London upgraded to EF4 with really weird wording behind it. Ssradarloop has insider sources apparently.

 

[UK_EF4]

Unofficial reports via media that the damage in London, KY has been rated EF4. Obviously it would be best to await official confirmation, but I do strongly suspect an EF4 rating is on its way. (I assume this has come through NWS Chat)

Yep I saw..

 

[tornado examiner]

It remains a high end EF3 at least with EF4 indicators.
Likely waiting to assign a final wind rating and make the official upgrade.

Yes, it came from chat. Here is a screenshot for proof. Jon has been there a while if I remember correctly. A high-end 3 for now awaiting consult.

When Is last time we had an outbreak in IL/IN/MO/KY with multiple ef4s and ef3s?

 

[ColdFront]

Yep, it had been at least 50 years since a storm like that was in that area of Kentucky. KY got absolutely hammered on 4/3/74, and Wayne County, which is south of Somerset, had two F4s on the ground at the same time that day.

And factor in St. Louis had been since 1959….

March 2 2012 was quite similarly placed. 2 EF4s and 8 EF3s.

 

[SmokeEater]

Side note, our tornado here in Jersey got upgraded, 95 mph EF1, 300 yards wide, on the ground for 8.6 miles.

Nope I’m wrong, I can’t do this no more. *throws phone*

Huh? Do what @Brice W

Yeah this did feature the two EF4s including the Henryville EF4 and a handful of EF3s.

Just a little humor, but this outbreak definitely did have a lot similarities to April 2-3 2012 outbreak. Minus the High Risk that was in place but had we known what was truly in store they may would been able to introduce a High Risk.

 

[SouthFLwx]

So is it safe to say that the London tornado will be eventually upgraded to an EF4?

It technically already has been but they’re probably trying to determine a final wind speed.
It’s weird how they worded it but multiple sources have confirmed that surveyors have identified EF4 di’s.
