The tornado that crossed the Mulberry Fork River and I-65 is most likely Cordova

That would make sense.

Mk, last major photo dump, I promise:

Presumably the Tuscaloosa tornado

Cullman

Tuscaloosa

Birmingham

Birmingham tornado from the Corner area

Tuscaloosa

Cordova from the Sumiton area

Ohatchee

Virtually zero of the images I’ve shared above have more than 1,000 views on Flickr.

 

[Lake Martin EF4]

Burton

Is it possible to geolocate this one? If it's Lake Burton, that's big, as that tornado specifically was an EF4 contender.

Have seen the last two, but the rest, brilliant finds!

The title said “Donheloga tornado”, which made me think of Lake Burton. Likely another tornado from that day.

Oh yeah, I've checked Flickr but their new restrictions are stupid so you barely view any images for 5 minutes without popups. I've found some stuff on there, but it is admittedly frustrating to skim through.

It's something I've noticed as well. Flickr treats you like garbage if you don't have an account (kind of like twitter under Musk, but that's a story for another thread.)

Fortunately, I do have an account I used to upload some photos of a dead mall a few years ago, so I can browse as normal. I've found a lot of Joplin stuff on there.

Yeah, i remember using Flickr last year and you could browse very freely. Suddenly, all these restrictions have been put on and it's VERY annoying to navigate. On top of the fact, my searching methods don't seem to work as much as they did....

And this is probably the first event where we have location, size, direction and damage - March 17, 1752 in Calvert County, Maryland, moving southwest. "Blew down" buildings on a plantation with the collapse of a home, resulting in two deaths and two more injuries. Another tornado in the same county ten days later (mentioned at the bottom) "almost blew down" a strong brick-constructed building and cracked a gable.

This does make me somewhat curious, was this in the Pennsylvania Gazette? I know Benjamin Franklin was the publisher of that newspaper during the time.

EF5 damage in Vilonia.

The remains of Wade Lentz's family home and vehicles:

Ground scouring:

Quarter embedded into a piece of wood:

Steel beam from Vilonia Intermediate School wrapped around a debarked tree. The beam apparently traveled a mile and a half:

The honorary 11th EF5. (Actually it's technically the 10th going by date, but eh.)

12th* counting Montville iirc

 

[Central Ohio Wx]

And if we want to get even more in-depth, there’s technically been ~15 EF5s - several of the 1974 F5s are officially counted as EF5s on the Damage Assessment Toolkit.

Which of these had DIs in the survey?

Which of these had DIs in the survey?

I'm 90% sure the first home is the infamous E Wicker St. home. The second one might be Marshall Rd S, but don't quote me on that, there's no picture attached on the DAT.

Wade Lentz's home, as well as the one on Beryl Rd, I know for a fact have no DIs.

RE: first picture

Can we talk about the fact that these folks are having a cookout, doubtless provided by friends and neighbors, on their slab that was once a home? That image shows the inherent goodness of the American people in a way that makes me kinda misty.

I believe this is potentially new footage that was randomly uploaded two months ago of Tuscaloosa. I really can't remember seeing this anywhere else on YT, FB or any other platform. It looks similar but if new, this is no doubt very intense footage. The incredible motion, horizontal vortices. These two were VERY close!

Unfortunately, it's just a reupload of an existing video:

Yeah I’ve seen that one before today.

My bad! I knew it was too goodness to be new but was just unsure. Anyways, it's still intense footage of Tuscaloosa. My apologies
