Holy crap, damage pics from this thing are finally available! The way it disintegrated vehicles and scattered the remains for miles reminds me of Camp Crook, SD with what it did to that tractor. Also, this thing is easily in the top 5 of most photogenic tornadoes of all time.

That’s easily the most extreme vehicle damage I’ve ever seen from a tornado by a long shot, good lord. This thing also tracked in basically the middle of no where in very rural areas, meaning debris had little effect and that was just the raw power of the tornado shredding those vehicles like that. Can’t imagine what it would’ve done had it tracked through a populated city.

Camp Crook did something similar to a tractor, and it tracked through desolate rural areas with hardly any debris either.
If something like this tracked through a populated city it would likely only have time to throw vehicles against buildings, remote rural areas with little structures tend to allow for the incredible phenomena like this.

I thought the tornado may have thrown the tractor from the farm in Camp Crook, SD BACKWARDS into Montana.

Either way, crazy.

Tje Chapman 2016 tornado tore some vehicles and farm equipment to shreds and as you probably remember was how the railroad tracks were ripped up and the bar bent.

Not like this though.
Come to think Jarrell still holds the most violent vehicle damage contender, as it literally disintegrated vehicles into grain-sized pieces and ground up the remains with mud and dirt. Even Stratton didn't do that.

There aren't very many things from other exceptionally violent tornadoes that can top the Jarrell 1997 tornado damage.
