I definitely agree, and that’s why I don’t think it will be rated as such. However, I’m still super impressed with the low-lying shrubbery being damaged to the degree that it was, you only see that in HE EF4 or EF5 rated tornadoes.Possibly hot take, mostly regarding the recent OK tornado, but I don't think tornadoes should be rated EF5 solely on contextual damage and no structural damage unless the structural damage is impressive in itself (EF4, maybe lower bound but with more extreme, smaller scale feats like debris granulation and/or damage to anchor bolts?) or the contextual damage is extremely upper echelon (Jarrell and Philadelphia's ground scouring come to mind)
At most, if they have extreme tree debarking and severe ground scouring, they should be rated EF4 at most, perhaps high-end. I still feel like EF5 should be reserved for tornadoes that cause at least enough structural damage combined with sufficient (or more than sufficient) contextual damage. Probably not the right thread to post this, but just food for thought.
Yeah, I think it should probably be rated an EF4. Many tornadoes have had ground scouring and tree damage rated as EF4, so this one should be no exception IMO.I definitely agree, and that’s why I don’t think it will be rated as such.

Dude what is going on omg— I looked at that rotation for a while!WHY IS THERE A TOR E IN TEXAS
Wtf is happeningView attachment 27701
3 MINUTES TO JUMP FROM RADAR INDICATED TO TOR E!!
Yeah I think I'm right about this one. I can't find a picture anywhere of this. NWS says spotter confirmed so maybe it's a false report?There's no clear TDS on this.
...is this another case of April 15th 2022?
