Oh also have you got an image of the Mullins home in Jarrell , Vicki Taylor's home and the LaFrances and Igo home. I have seen the Moehring I think. I am asking because I found this interesting map.

Kind of makes sense given the low death toll.

These are all from Fuller's Creekside subdivision:
And Edgewater Drive on the Lost Peninsula:
Only ones I have that are really worth sharing. I'd like to look for more eventually but haven't yet.
Back when I was working on my article I made a map of where all my photos were taken (minus a handful I couldn't identify), but that was one of the things I lost when my hard drive kicked the bucket. I don't remember enough to match them up anymore. One of many reasons I've been a lot more careful over the years about not only making backups but also keeping everything clearly labeled and organized.

Yeah, even in the 70s much of the path the tornado took was heavily populated. Had it been a high-end tornado, the death toll could have been awful. On a related note, kind of amazing how close it was to the 1913 path. Less than a mile apart south of I-80.

A good find. Posted for 14 year with only 381 views, very obscure and not the best vid quality but you can see the extensive level of damage.

I wonder if there are damage photos from the Allendale, Michigan tornado on April 11th, 1965

Imgbb said that those photos didn't exist when i clicked on one of themThe Berne, IN - Willshire, OH F4 is another that often goes overlooked. These were all taken between Linn Grove and Berne. By the way, in case I didn't mention before/it wasn't obvious, you can click on any of the photos I'm posting for the full-size version:
Understood. Do you know where this is? Is this near the C.& E.I Roundhouse in Frankfort.?These are all from Fuller's Creekside subdivision:

Many photographs taken in the aftermath of the 16 Mar 1942 F4 tornado family that hit Otoucalofa (or “O’Tuckalofa”), Mississippi:

Strongest tornadoes by month, at least since 1950:
January: Allendale, IL - 1/7/1989 - probable F5
February: Delhi, LA - 2/21/1971 - rated F5 or Clinton, AR - 2/5/2008 - probable F5
March: Hesston, KS - 3/13/1990 - rated F5
An embarrasment of riches for the months April - June; I won't try to pick one for each, but, from what I've read, the strongest contenders for each include several from SO 1974 and SO 2011 for April, almost too many to count for May, and Flint-Beecher (6/8/1953) and Bakersfield Valley (6/1/1990) for June
July: Oakfield, WI - 7/18/1996 - rated F5
August: Plainfield, IL - 8/18/1990 - rated F5, and appears to be the strongest August twister, but the F5 rating is often reasonably disputed
September: Cobb Town, WI - 9/26/1951 - probable F5
October: Belmond, IA - 10/14/1966 - probable F4 but was rated, most likely incorrectly, as F5; I don't see any other F5 contenders from October
November: Washington, IL - 11/17/2013 - borderline F5, probably was one
December: Holly Springs, MS - 12/23/2015 - almost certainly an F5; may well have been stronger than Mayfield-Bremen
January: Allendale, IL - 1/7/1989 - probable F5
February: Delhi, LA - 2/21/1971 - rated F5 or Clinton, AR - 2/5/2008 - probable F5
March: Hesston, KS - 3/13/1990 - rated F5

So wow- a top level (or close to it) tornado every month of the year.

Oh yeah. At a minimum, an F4 every month. And a likely F5 for every month except arguably October and August.

Does anyone know of any other very high end tornadoes for the months of January, August, September, and October?
Does the book by Bob Johns titled "The 1925 Tri-state Tornado's devastation in Franklin, County, Hamilton County, and White County, Illinois" have any images of the damage in these rural areas? There seems to be a lack of documentation in this area specifically.
Some rare Super Outbreak videos (with 6 and 3 views, respectively) that I randomly came across on Facebook:

By the way, the link doesn't exist anymoreThere are also some photos in the video featured here:
100th Anniversary of the Destructive Palm Sunday Tornado Outbreak
In a time of darkness and uncertainty, communities in northeastern Indiana came together to pick up the pieces. Exactly 100 years ago Saturday, lives were forever changed.www.wfft.com

Gotta love the silly commentary I often find in tornado videos that have less than 1,000 views on the YouTubes:
Some random footage of the Tuscaloosa tornado that I came across on Vimeo. Posted it because it's one of the few videos I've seen that truly showcases just how debris-filled the tornado actually was:
