Yeah, after reading through that chain, I forgot which thread it was. Thought it was the severe weather 2025 thread.

The Greensburg to Plevna cell and St. Louis are so overlooked lol

They weren’t just destroyed, they were ripped to shreds.

Oy, truth @Central Ohio Wx.

I don't think I've seen this picture. Is this actually Spiritwood? If so, that's substantially higher end damage than I expected...

Yes, it’s been circulating around today and must have been recently released.

I’m not even trying to sound hyperbolic, but that is genuinely some of the worst vehicle damage I have ever seen.

For real @AJS, that’s not a vehicle…that is … idk lol. Crumblings.

Stratton will forever have done the worst vehicle damage ever recorded, outside of that one tornado that granulated an entire truck

@TH2002 new EF5 candidate just dropped

When I started this thread in the days leading up to this tornado event, I was not expecting what the tornadoes did

Without knowing the whole extent of the contextual damage (scouring? debarking? wind rowing? etc.) I'm not going to say it's an EF5 candidate.

El Reno '13 is a perfect example of this. 295+ mph readings in subvortices? Yes. Tremendous vehicle damage? Yes. But all the other damage was AT BEST, low end EF4.

But like I said after Matador, it's not really debatable that vehicle damage of this caliber is typically only seen in violent (EF4-EF5) tornadoes.

This, and before I personally would put this as a potential EF5 candidate, I’d want to see what the surrounding ground would have looked like before the tornado as well. If it’s already somewhat of a barren field before the tornado, then the ground scarring is definitely going to look more intense than it actually was. It looks bad in those images, but what were those fields looking like before the tornado hit?
