Like today, when a very strong, possible landspout tornado hit southeastern UT just today! A few homes were wiped out, but they might've been poorly made, so this probably won't get rated higher than EF2.

Who can ever forget Salt Lake City August 1999?

To add to this thread, Arizona’s deadliest tornado occurred during the extremely active monsoon season of the summer of 1964.

OTD 15 years ago, a strong tornado outbreak occurred in the state of Arizona. While the strongest of them was an official high-end EF3 that occurred near Tuba City, one of the weaker Bellemont twisters had unofficially intensified to mid-EF4 strength as it passed over a burn scar that contained an anemometer that recorded a peak windspeed of 185 mph. However, there was nothing in the burn scar that could confirm the measurement, so the anemometer was promptly ignored during the survey. To this day, the 2010 East Bellemont Tornado is unofficially the strongest tornado to ever be observed in the desert southwest; however, there was no further evidence to prove it was, except for the anemometer.

If I recall, didn’t that outbreak occur in the middle of the night? I think one of the reasons people forgot about this outbreak is because there were no fatalities.
