No changes from yesterday, when it was the D2 outlook. I hope not much happens today

The thing is, that 2013 EF4 really should have been rated EF3. You have to go back to 2011 for a genuinely violent Iowa tornado (Pocahontas).For sure going to be three straight years with a violent tornado (prior to Winterset, the last EF4 in the state was in 2013); and four with at least an EF3 (Lake City 7/14/21). This in the state chasers used to derisively refer to as "Lieowa."
Has it even started???Any updates on surveying in Greenfield?
I think so.Has it even started???
Not how it works. It’s not even noon there yet.Any updates on surveying in Greenfield?
Don't even mention that EF-number!!!Hearing from a friend's friend, who has surveyed for OUN recently, that they believe the Greenfield tornado was a legitimate candidate for EF5. I don't think they'll be surveying for this tornado but still very interesting.
It’s a small saving grace that this was fairly narrow once it hit town, but man, from this height it’s obvious that this was a violent tornado.
Normally I’d be skeptical of this claim, but I actually just heard the same thing from a NWS friend of mine. I wonder why this one in particular has them so impressed?Hearing from a friend's friend, who has surveyed for OUN recently, that they believe the Greenfield tornado was a legitimate candidate for EF5.

Even if it is, it is by far the most violent tornado of the year.Normally I’d be skeptical of this claim, but I actually just heard the same thing from a NWS friend of mine. I wonder why this one in particular has them so impressed?
For the record I think this will be rated EF4, but we shall see.
