This looks high end. EF3-4 range.

At least two homes on the inner edge of the town have been reduced to exposed basements.

Oof.

 

[Evan]

This looks high end. EF3-4 range.

Hard to argue with that assessment.

Oof.

Terrible situation, amazing photo.

 

[MMWX]

Crazy to think about how cell has had a tornado on ground basically since it was SE of Omaha.

This looks high end. EF3-4 range.

Yeah I was thinking in the 160 to 180 mph range using the EF-SCALE.

Missouri the next hot zone?

I have seen more wedge tornadoes today than the last 5 years in the Plains combined.

 

[Brice W]

I have seen more wedge tornadoes today than the last 5 years in the Plains combined.

How many wedges have there been? I’ve seen at least 2

 

[Tempestas Tonitrua]

Those 3 Missouri cells about to merge may drop a monster

 

[atrainguy]

How many wedges have there been? I’ve seen at least 2

There was the massive one early in the day around Elba. The Bennington one as well, and I think 2 to 3 for the Minden storm? There may be more, I'm losing track.

At least 4-5 in total

Wedge west of Manila, IA on the western cell.

I saw probably a half dozen wedge tornadoee today unless they were the same tornado. Also the 1991 Andover, KS tornado outbreak occurred 33 years ago today.

[A Guy]

I have seen more wedge tornadoes today than the last 5 years in the Plains combined.

I think the amount of quality footage of multiple vortices we'll get out of today will be about that existing combined. Brett Adair must be constantly pinching himself to make sure it's not a dream.

TDS SW of Creston, IA

Confirmed on the ground there now.

I bet the feelings of the storm chasers that didn’t go after this event must be equivalent to constantly mining for some diamonds and finally giving up, just to find out more tenacious minors found an entire cave that’s literally made out of diamonds.
