Perhaps even a third EF4 is coming.

Looks like the Des Arc tornado in MO from the Bakersfield storm has been rated preliminary EF3.

Edit: was beaten to it.

A second EF4 tornado has been confirmed near Ash Flat AR by NWS Little Rock.

The same parent supecell also produced the Fifty-Six, AR EF3. I'm curious to see if they find a continuous damage path.

If they are bringing in engineers…let’s hope for no funny business from them trying to downgrade things.
Ah I’m sure nothing like that’ll happen.

I really feel bad for the social media managers of the NWS offices whenever they have a high end event occur. The weenies just converge on them like an angry mob

Small reminder guys: Hackleburg was a prelim EF3. These EF3s that are prelim 165 mph are likely gonna go up. Not all of them, but some.

NWS Huntsville, and Chris Darden specifically, did an amazing job on the 4/27/11 surveys.

In case anyone hasn't yet seen - Tylertown rated EF3 preliminary.

Wow, this really is looking to have been close to a super.

Solid yes but not super

Solid yes but not super

Major outbreak then?

 

[Kds86z]

Major outbreak then?

I would say so. Based off the number of high end tornadoes, 23 fatalities, states affected, and number of overall tornadoes is going to be quite hefty from last 3 days.

 

[TornadoFan]

I'd say it was certainly a major outbreak. But to call it super is just flat out wrong.

I would say a major to historic tornado outbreak.

If there ends up being a substantial amount of violent-rated tornadoes, like more than six, then I would put it in Palm Sunday’s ballpark. But only because if Palm Sunday occurred now the amount of violent-rated tornadoes would be surely less than 10.

EDIT: After being corrected, Palm Sunday 1965 is absolutely not a good comparison.

I think this one will rank more closely to super Tuesday tornado outbreak in terms of violent/strong tornadoes

True…

 

[Tomcats Forever!]

Solid yes but not super

Indeed, that's what I was getting at.
