I wouldn't be surprised if the Strong AR tornado also reached F5 intensity.Awesome stuff here. A while back, I read an old archived Weather Bureau about the New Bloomfield, MO F4, and I saw the same bit about the anchor bolts and the concrete slab. It paints a picture of a very violent tornado, and it seems like an informal F5 rating would have been more appropriate than F4.
It's also interesting to compare and contrast the F4/EF4 tornadoes that struck Garland, TX in 1927 and 2015.
