Significant Tornado Events

[tornadowatch211]

Heres some obscure Shinnston photographs:
The wrecked compression station, I think it’s comparable to Wheatland in industrial damage IMO. Some of the piping there was pulled out of the ground:






These photos below remind me of New Richmond ngl:


Yeah, “F4” damage according to Grazulis
Btw I have 72 Shinnston photographs, some are duplicates, so maybe 68.
Heres one thing I heard somewhere about this tornado:

Spoiler

30 bodies were found in the river near Shinnston. Some were found weeks after the tornado, and IIRC even miles away. Makes me wonder if Shinnston had Joplin level casualties.

I don't have a lot of videos so I'm probably not the best person to ask for that specifically, but I can definitely relate to the pain of having to organize a huge hoard of material lol

For me the most important thing was to be able to quickly sort + find by date, so I landed on this for my main folder:

For outbreaks, each folder then has separate subfolders for individual tornadoes, and I use the outbreak folder itself for more general stuff that isn't attached to a specific tornado. For example, my 5/31/85 folder (the numbering is just to keep them in sequence for my article):

There's more beyond that but it's probably not useful or applicable here. Anyway, I do end up with some folders that only have like one or two photos/videos/newspaper clippings/whatever in them, but I don't really mind because it's way faster and easier to find what I need or sort and save new stuff.

By the way, do you still have the pics from Colorado City 1923, Yazoo 1933 and Oak Cliff 1933?

By the way @locomusic01, do you have pics from Colorado City 1923, Crawfordsville 1931, 1932 Deep South outbreak and the May 7-9, 1927 outbreak?

A trailer, or whats left of it:

These photo no joke are on par with Joplin, the amount of granulated debris in the foreground of these 4 photos is just insane:

Tree damage in Moore. The first photo looks like a piece of a 2x4 was lodged between the branches of the debarked tree:

This one shows some pretty high-end vehicular damge:

So is this where it dissipated?

Tri-State photo dump, first is the Lick Creek Church which reportedly had parts of its foundation scoured away:

These arent really noteworthy:

This photo shows some pretty intense vegetation damage:

Hard to tell due to the low quality, but my guess is the main part of the church wasn't sitting on a solid poured slab after all - most likely a brick or concrete block (CMU) foundation, which can fail easily underneath a structure.

However, I would guess the "scoured slab" rumor may have originated from what appears to be a porch slab on the right side of the image, which, if it was indeed damaged, is still an amazing feat.
