I don't have the specifics handy, but I believe I gathered all of them from archives of the Louisville Courier-Journal and the Lexington Herald.
I'd love to get my hands on the print version but copies are hard to come by and are NOT cheap when you do find them. There's one on eBay right now for $105.00 which is WELL out of my price range.By the way, for folks who are interested, there's apparently a digitized version of Significant Tornadoes (the original 1880-1989 version) available on Google Books:

I had a copy of the Big Green Book (1680-1991) years ago, sold it to help pay medical bills, finally bought another copy a while back for $200.. and then managed to lose it somehow when I moved. Go figure.I'd love to get my hands on the print version but copies are hard to come by and are NOT cheap when you do find them.

Im really excited for what Grazulis has to say about Vilonia, Chapman, Chickasha, and goldsby. i wonder if he will agree that all four deserved EF5 ratings. The price is ridiculous. not really excited as well for thatI had a copy of the Big Green Book (1680-1991) years ago, sold it to help pay medical bills, finally bought another copy a while back for $200.. and then managed to lose it somehow when I moved. Go figure.
Really nice to have a fully searchable digitized version, though. The last I'd heard was that Grazulis still planned on a fall 2021 release for SigTor 2019. Super excited for that but not quite so excited for the $160 (IIRC) price tag.
Yeah, Kostroma is located on the Volga River.It seems like most of the damage was done next to a river or something else. thanks for those pics!
Looks more like F2-F3 damageI found a collection of Kostroma damage pics a while back, I'll post them once I find it again.
Update: Found them
Source specifically labels these as Kostroma damage pics (Source: КОСТРОМА | История Костромы / Kostroma | History of Kostroma at skyscrapercity.com)
Yeah I sent a email requesting to be given updates on the progress of the new book & when I could purchase a copy, etc. I never heard back, so I really do wonder about him.Haha I don't want to stay how much I paid for my copy... not to mention tracking down the 92-95 update and the F5 booklet. Started setting aside the funds for the update as soon as I heard the update was coming though, super excited for it.
Though he's gone pretty quiet with few updates lately; hope all is still well with the Grazulis family.
Wait. The F5 booklet exists and you have it?Haha I don't want to stay how much I paid for my copy... not to mention tracking down the 92-95 update and the F5 booklet. Started setting aside the funds for the update as soon as I heard the update was coming though, super excited for it.

I actually sent an email to Richard Thompson over at the Storm Prediction Center concerning the F5 tornado of 5 May 1960, and he forwarded my email to his colleague Roger Edwards, who in turn explained that Thomas P. Grazulis’ description of the tornado in his NUREG report differed somewhat from the final draft that went into Significant Tornadoes 1680–1991. Nevertheless, Richard Thompson did confirm that he believed Thomas P. Grazulis mentioned one of the 5 May 1960 tornadoes as being possibly among the strongest on record, though he did not recall the exact source. I forwarded both emails to Thomas P. Grazulis, who in turn responded that he completed his reassessment of the 5 May 1960 tornadoes back in 1981 and that he expects one revised volume of Significant Tornadoes, covering 1970–2021, to be released approximately a year from today. His response to me occurred six days ago.Yeah I sent a email requesting to be given updates on the progress of the new book & when I could purchase a copy, etc. I never heard back, so I really do wonder about him.

This was the link I sent an email through, fyi.
I randomly found a scanned copy on Amazon in 2013; since it's long out of print and haven't seen it available since, it would probably be ok to send a PDF copyWait. The F5 booklet exists and you have it?
You should post it here as many people have been looking for it for yearsI randomly found a scanned copy on Amazon in 2013; since it's long out of print and haven't seen it available since, it would probably be ok to send a PDF copy
