I feel like often when truly violent (EF4/mostly EF5 tornadoes) go through an area it sort of gets that 'look'. Mud caked buildings and vehicles, intense wind rowing, little visible debris, dark muddy fields. This tornado definitely had that.On the 8th anniversary of the Pilger tornado family thought I’d share some of the pretty intense damage left behind by the 2nd EF4 in this family, the Pilger tornado. In my opinion this tornado probably had winds in the EF5 range during its passage through the town, almost every building impacted by this tornadoes narrow core was completely obliterated including a large church that was swept cleanly away. Ground scouring, debris granulation, tree debarking, and wind-rowing of debris also occurred.
