Strongly believe that this was the 2nd strongest of the outbreak.

I LOVE Wisconsin lol
And I wish I could find the video. The motion was incredible!

That’s what I was going to say… Mulhall was likely very violent.

Post from 2021. Explains why it still misattributes the photo.
For the record, I conclusively proved that all the Satkus/Payne photos were of the Geary F3 that preceded the Dover F4, based off their chase log. The Dover tornado itself seems to have been unphotographed.

Yeah i didn’t recognize this because years ago i saw a photo of Dover tornado by a chaser and it didn’t look like this. Haven’t tracked it down yet,

What did it look like, then?

It was smaller and lighter color

Possibly at 2:40ish in this upload from the TV show "Full Force Nature"?
The tornado was a lot closer to those people on Lake Kegonsa than they realized, since it actually tracked along the south shore of the lake, about 1/2 to 1 mile closer than "downtown" Stoughton from their perspective.
Minus the F-bomb, but perhaps you were getting that mixed up with another video taken further down the tornado's path (actually when it was pretty close to my house), which contains a close-up of a building coming apart (in similar fashion to the famous video from the Attica tornado the previous year)? The videographer/narrator was screaming profanities the whole time. "LOOK HOW BIG THAT F___ER IS! THERE'S A HOUSE! THERE'S A WHOLE F___ING HOUSE!!" etc.
That sequence is also in this compilation, begins around the 4:05 mark (profanities muted of course since it was for TV).

The London EF4 will forever be one of the scariest tornadoes in the 21st century, imo. Easily the deadliest tornado I tracked live on radar and the most impactful.
The only other nocturnal tornadoes since 2000 that scare me more are Ringgold, Greensburg and Western KY.

Holy crap, that first photo could've passed as a daytime photo had it not been for the obvious flash in the foreground. This thing has a kinda terrifying wispy-ish appearance, although I am of the opinion that the one photo of Lake Martin 4/27/11 I found was scarier.

The Diaz EF4 from this March was right up there, too. There was this one video of it where the wind was making this unearthly howl that sounded almost demonic.
Then there was Rolling Fork with its mysterious airborne points of light that may or may not have been the headlights of a lofted vehicle (was that ever settled?).

Thansk for sharing @Central Ohio Wx . I followed with everyone here that insane event.

We've got a thousand points of light
For the homeless man
We've got a kinder, gentler machine gun hand...
(For the record, though, I do think it was settled as being a vehicle with the exception of a member on here who thought it was a wormhole of all things.)

The thing about that photo is that it’s so invisible that it isn’t really scary. It’s hard to see what’s going on in that image, while with the London tornado it’s very clear there’s a violent tornado in the shadows.
3/14 had some monsters that night. Definetly over-performed expectation wise vs the next day. A real “day before the day” scenario. Looking back at the obs and mesoanalysis on the SPC event review page for both of those days, it’s easy to see why.

If someone’s calculations were correct, it would’ve verified a 60#.
It would’ve easily verified a high risk. Even with that lead wave pushing the moisture south temporarily, that deep SLP still pulled 60s dew points all the way up into north eastern Arkansas and south eastern Missouri.

My friend working on OMEGA verification agrees with a 45% SIG verification for 3/14
