Significant Tornado Events

[AJS]

Definitely put tri-state up there if we count that. But yeah Jarrell is as bad as damage gets I think, and if its true that it actually wasnt as slow moving as is claimed, its even more insane.

Oh absolutely. Tri State is definitely up there. I was just referring to tornadoes that have happened in more recent times. But if we go back even further, you could argue that Tri State and New Richmond 100% belong in that class.

These aren’t E/F5 but who cares:

Bakersfield 1990
Harper 2004
Loyal Valley 1999
Marion 2004
Mayfield 2021 (Bremen)
Stratton 1990

Now for tornadoes rated E/F5:
Brandenburg 1974
Flint 1953
Hudsonville 1956
Greensburg 2007
Andover 1991

Thanks for answering that. Have you ever considered writing something like a detailed memoir from that day? I know your story was told in what Stands in a Storm, but I’d love to read the lead up and the day of from your point of view.

I know you have a ton of projects going on, but just a question. Just due to the sheer historic nature of that event, I’d love to see as many stories/photos/accounts on the record as possible. Similar to how our generation reads first hand accounts from 4/3/74, there will be new generations of weather hobbyists down the line that would love to have that for 4/27/11.

You're welcome. You know. To be honest, I've never been asked to do a legit sit down TV interview about it from both the meteorological/personal perspective. Yeah, there was What Stands In A Storm then the Storm Stories episode. That's something I would love to be able to do at some point.

I took a ton of photos in the moments after, but never really put them into a PowerPoint. I need to make a 4/27 PowerPoint. I did a little one just on the total number of watches/warnings issued and just the basic overview.

Uhhh… okay? Seems they’re releasing it much earlier than last year

Unrelated, but am I the only one that's been getting a crapton of Cloudflare errors in the past hour or so?

And I'll add that the Tornado Archive has been similarly working like crap for me for the past couple of weeks. Not only do I keep getting bombarded with Cloudflare, but a lot of tornadoes just flat out won't show up in the Data Explorer.

I've been getting those very badly as well - comes and goes in waves ever since the whole ADS fiasco. And I can't see much in the data explorer either. Not sure what's going on but it has to be related to the ADS stuff I would imagine, but I have no earthly idea otherwise.

What specific issues are you seeing? We were forced to implement Cloudflare by our server provider after we were essentially DDoS'd from someone sending too many data download requests.

Does someone have the link to our dev? This should not be shared publicly. Come on, common sense people.

No, this shows when you pull up the website and input “2025”, it’s completely public. Y’all might want to do something about that; it might be part of the Cloudflare errors.

There was a mix-up in scripts between the main (publicly visible) and dev (internal development) branches, unrelated to Cloudflare. It's being worked on, thanks!
