Significant Tornado Events - Global Edition

Are there any radar images from when the tornado went through Rio Bonito? I've seen one mosaic image that seemed to show multiple supercells at 20:40 UTC but that's about it.

Radar coverage in Brazil is quite poor, and access to radar data is often restricted to the public. This is the only image available when the tornado hit the city.

Jeez. I wonder if there were any videos of the tornado itself?

The first videos show that it was a rain-wrapped tornado.

Another strong tornado caused one death in the rural area of Guarapuava, Paraná.

Today's data confirm tornado damage in Candói and in the southern part of Guarapuava, Paraná. This tornado may have traveled over 100 km if a single continuous path is confirmed.

Same tornado that went through Rio Bonito?

Same tornado that went through Rio Bonito?

There is a good chance it was the same tornado. Further investigation is needed to determine whether there is any discontinuity along the path before confirming it.

Wait, so...we now have an official F4 rating from this tornado?

EDIT: Yup. F4. 7th violent tornado of the year worldwide, and now the most violent tornadoes in a year since 2014.

This is some of the most violent damage I’ve seen from a South American tornado.

Big ask, but would anyone be willing to post a full list of the tornadoes and their ratings from this outbreak? It’s unfortunate that South America doesn’t have an easy to navigate public tornado database like the US, Canada, and Europe.

Edit: Actually never mind, it looks like there is one based on posts from earlier. Gonna have to look into that.

Some very interesting stuff going on in that last pic. Looks like trenching to me.
