Significant Tornado Events

I see Google Maps has pretty new imagery at Enderlin, and you can actually see the scar from the tornado through the fields, and the heavy tree damage.

Also, it isn't a great view, but they have street view imagery from August, and you can see the destroyed forest from a distance.

enderlin tornado is a other modern tornado along with gary to be captured by VHS video cameras

I have actually contacted Jack on various social platforms, he's a really great guy for archiving tornado videos and photos, I'm really happy he managed to document some of the more craziest Summer tornadoes in A LONG time! The VHS feel is top notch too

What a incredible scar. I'm very confused at why I didn't think initially about this tornado being very high end, all the evidence points to it and of course Grand Forks rating it EF5. Very glad this thing decided to drop in a rural area, but still 3 fatalities are too many....

I'd like to show people also what the environment according to 04z RAP looked like. If anything, this is one of the most extreme soundings I've ever seen.

Oh, i just realised that! The person modified it to actual surface obs and the adjusted storm motion which led to that absurd hodograph.
