Severe Weather Threat June 15-23

Never thought I'd see the day. I always thought the drought would be broken by a tornado with a lot of coverage (like Mayfield, Greenfield, etc), and not one like Enderlin which mostly flew under the radar (figuratively, of course). Also didn't expect it to happen in North Dakota. But it did! Amazing to see the science at play here.

Yeah, really thought it would have to be a high-profile (one or more towns/cities devastated, numerous fatalities [not to dismiss the injuries and fatalities the Enderlin tornado did cause], many instances of violent damage over a long track) tornado that did it. But we've seen multiple instances of such (including the two you mentioned) and they were still rated EF4.

That 1999 Moore-esque Clear slot is such a good indicator that a violent tornado is ongoing.

The May 18 KS beast had it too on probably all of the "EF3" wedges. What with keeping my distance I didn't get a definitive view of the Cullison-Iuka tornado, but you can see the clear slot and associated structure toward bottom center of this frame grab from my driver's side-view GoPro looking north from US 54/400 a bit west of Pratt.

have to wonder if one of those gets upgraded. Most likely would be Plevna in relation to the tree damage it ensued. Awesome catch even being so far away. Definitely a lot stronger than EF3.

I know one of the Brehnam/Haviland area tornadoes derailed a train, but as far as I know it didn't hurl the cars in a similar manner to Enderlin or some of the other cases we have been discussing.
