Severe WX Severe Weather Threat 3/14-3/16

A little food for thought.

Is it still preliminary ef3?

 

[tornado examiner]

I think the only reason the Diaz home wasn’t fully swept away is because of how large it was compared to the size of the tornado funnel, which likely wasn’t much wider than the home itself. And of course it was so solidly built and heavy.

Is it still preliminary ef3?

I think actually think it’s been finalized. I’ll be surprised if we get another EF4.

Also, people should not be sharing leaks from NWS Chat in here.

Can't believe it even has to be said.

Has that home been a surveyed? Or is that the 190 MPH home.

MEG surveying?

Guys we have keep in mind that’s the same foundation that was shown earlier. These photos taken after extensive debris cleanup. The poster failed to mention that. Impressive none the less.

 

[tornado examiner]

This is the home before more complete clean-up.

Apparently there is a few houses struck by tornadoes two years in a row in Paragould?

WeatherMatrix

Incredibly, several homes in Paragould, Arkansas, were hit by a second tornado in less than a year. On May 27, 2024, several houses were severely damaged by an EF-2 tornado. On Saturday, another...

Could potentially squeeze one more ef4 out of this outbreak.

 

[buckeye05]

West of Tylertown on the north side of 98, a well built,
well anchored home, was swept from the foundation, leaving debris
in a pile and thrown behind the home. This home was determined to
have 170 MPH EF4 damage.

Rookie question since I’m not as educated on actual damage surveys. Does the home having the debris still piled near it and not the slab swept completely clean and the debris granulated Preclude a higher end EF-4?

Yes, when debris is piled on or near the foundation but not strewn downwind, it’s usually indicative of low to mid-range EF4. Example: the Sandy Hook, MS EF4 from a few years back.

I feel kinda stupid for not noticing that at first lmao. Man jet lag really messes with your brain.

I seen that picture with debris concentrated near the foundation. It was down to the slab but the debris remained close to the foundation. It was also not granulated.

There is some granulation present but not everything was ground up. High end EF4 ultimately makes sense which is why they confirmed they aren’t considering an upgrade to EF5..

So the high-end EF4 rating is probably lenient?

 

[tornado examiner]

Pronounced scouring confirmed.

 

[Kds86z]

This event may break the top 10 in Alabama; for tornadoes in 24 hours. It'll be close.

Really @UncleJuJu98 ? Wow

 

[buckeye05]

No, that was in reference to the low-end Tylertown, MS EF4.

 

[Shakespeare 2016]

There have been 35 tornadoes that have been rated EF2+ from this recent tornado outbreak.

24 EF2'S, 8 EF3'S, AND 3 EF4'S.

 

[AJS]

I can safely say that this tornado won’t make the cut for EF5. I think contextual damage and home damage just fell short of what was fully needed. It definitely gave the rating a run for its money though. Very fortunate it avoided a direct hit on those towns.

 

[Shakespeare 2016]

No, that was in reference to the low-end Tylertown, MS EF4.

OK, I was wondering.

 

[AJS]

There have been 35 tornadoes that have been rated EF2+ from this recent tornado outbreak.

24 EF2'S, 8 EF3'S, AND 3 EF4'S.

Been a while since we’ve had an outbreak this ferocious.
