Severe Weather Threat June 15-23

Im beating a dead horse but it’s such a shame this dude was driven out of here due to some members acting like rapid dogs because someone dared to have a conservative take on tornado ratings.

Based on what I’ve seen, the guy just genuinely tries to be as objective as possible and actually points out mistakes regarding DAT. Just like what @buckeye05 said, such a potential valuable asset to this forum lost.

While it would be easy to start complaining about yet another extremely violent plains tornado being slapped with an EF3 rating they did say that the rating is pending further analysis due to “damage intensity.” I think it’s still viable for an upgrade unlike Grinnell, plevna, matador, etc.

My bet's going to be within the LE EF4 range (170-175?) as I don't see extremely violent contextual damage besides trees and the tanker, although Grand Forks is a known progressive office.

I feel like they have to take consideration into the tanker. It was notably dislodged and lofted. I think we all know what will happen unfortunately. This tornado was by no means an EF3. But this is the best way to indicate how strong a tornado is.

I think people, at least until the new rating system is implemented, need to give up on the prospect that non conventional DIs just aren’t a thing anymore.

The days of tornadoes like Plainfield/Philadelphia, or Calumet being rated ef5 based on scouring or hitting non DI structures are gone.
 
I do think it'll get upgraded to EF4-170 at least. Pretty hard to expose a basement or destroy (but not sweep) a seemingly well-built house without hitting EF4. If they actually look at the train car, maybe we see 180+ but I'd doubt it.
