Severe Weather 2024

[Shakespeare 2016]

That's been the case for about a week now.

I am surprised I didn't find out earlier about this.

Tornado in Whitman injures one, destroys homes

A tornado tore through Whitman, Nebraska on Tuesday night, destroying homes and injuring one person.

Classic low end ef4 although construction quality will probably keep it below that.

Already?

Already?

I wonder what the convincer to go EF4 would be. It seems like many preliminary high-end EF3 tornadoes from this year thad the potential to go EF4 but did not.

That home wasn't even cored. Huh?
EDIT: Looking into the comments on the DI, I think this will get a very fair survey. Weird how this office can't do warnings, but can do surveys, which is arguably a much harder job.

That is strange I would think that would be lower than high-end EF3. If it was glued to the foundation I would say low-end EF3 as the back part of the house is still standing. I guess whatever though.

I will give NWS North Platte one thing - I do think they are doing a respectable job at handling the survey. Nice detailed explanations on the DAT and fair ratings so far.

Still, if they haven't done it already, they need to release a public statement admitting their mistake on failing to warn a significant tornado.

I mean, the comment mentions that it was well anchored (I think?) and that most anchor bolts that were exposed were sheared or bent.

If you go to the dat that is what it said.

2 new DIs added. Both 160mph, pretty descriptive and have lots of images.

That was a different house. The west DI is the one that was half-standing half-slabbed.

Okay, I think it may have been an error and they changed it.

Completely unrelated to Whitman, but Georgia (the country) experienced its first significant (F2+) tornado touchdown since 2005 a few days ago. It hit the village of Alaverdi in Abkhazia, where a monastery was damaged and a vehicle was overturned, injuring two people.
Not to take away from the injuries, but man, this is a beautiful tornado:
