Injury count from the London tornado has reached 108, making it (iirc) the only tornado in 2025 to injure more than 100 people and the only tornado since 2023 to kill more than ten.

the St. Louis EF3 got a massive survey update with hundreds of di’s being added to the beginning of the track. Nashville 2020 style survey detail. Woah.

Got some sauce from the man himself regarding the May 16th forecast. I asked him if I could share it but he hasn't responded yet.

Here it is:
If you don't remember, this was the forecast that mentioned "Several strong tornadoes appear likely, and a high-end long-track tornado will be possible from far southeast Missouri, into southern Illinois and southern Indiana, southward into western Kentucky and far northern Tennessee"

Here’s a follow up from it (at the bottom) but I definitely think it really got a hold people’s attention

Had the London tornado gone just 180 yards (0.09 miles) north of where it tracked, it likely would have been an absolute disaster.

Also, unlike the title says, the death was completely unrelated to the London EF4 and wasn't even tornadic. It happened in Ballard County (literally one of the furthest-west Kentucky counties) when a tree fell on their house due to wind. They were taken to a hospital in McCracken County and died there. Bad reporting.Didn’t know this.. sad

Hi all. I was going through and highlighting the notable tornado events this year. One of my most anxious questions was the extent of the damage from the tornadoes in Linton and Bloomington, Indiana, on May 16. Doing a little damage forensics, and I found a video on YouTube that pretty much confirms my suspicion that Linton was violent. Intense tree damage in this video

Many people here have probably seen this, as it's, in my opinion, the most eye-catching tornado video of May 16. But I thought it would add weight to my point made about this tornado's potential.
Just incredibly violent motion in that thing.
