Don’t like to be that guy bringing up EF ratings after a devastating tornado, but I can’t help but marvel at the sheer violence of the damage out of Greenfield Iowa today. Multiple homes and businesses wiped off their foundations and a consistent swath of upper-echelon damage.

These are two of the longest tracked tornadoes from the December 10-11 tornado outbreak, the Mayfield KY EF4 tracked an unprecedented 165.7 miles and an EF3 to the south of it tracked roughly 122.74 miles through TN and KY. Truly a historic outbreak.

These are the 3 EF4 DI’s from Newnan GA. One one was completely obliterated yet a new Camaro was left unmoved and only sustained a few dents, which is remarkable considering the entire house was gone. This is still preliminary so more EF4 DI’s are possible.

May 16, 2015 Elmer OK EF3 tornado. This mile wide wedge tracked 40 miles across rural Texas and Oklahoma. The tornado was likely capable of producing EF4+ damage though only EF3 damage was found to trees and outbuildings. Gate-to-Gate velocity on radar was over 250mph at times.

If we are holding the EF5 rating standards to 2 of the powerful tornadoes in recent history, it’s going to be a very long time until the drought ends. This is likely still preliminary but if this is the final rating our standards are way too high.

I think the rating raises more concern from an engineering standpoint that the structures were that poorly built it couldn’t be rated higher. But at the same time from a scientific point there is no denying this tornado was certainly violent.

By far December 10, 2021. Such a historic event that for the first time since tracking weather left me truly shaken for several days on end and still boggles my mind. Watching those two EF4’s wipe out town after town with seemingly no end in real time still sticks with me.

Many of those homes just flat out disintegrated. I also can make out several instances where even the stem walls of the foundation gave way and collapsed. Vegetation and vehicle damage is a good indicator to just how violent this storm was, comparable to past high-end events.

On May 25, 2016 an incredibly intense EF4 tornado would track 26 miles across rural northeast Kansas. The small town of Chapman had been in the direct path of this monster but was spared as the tornado jogged just to the south. This tornado very likely had winds in the EF5 range.

This makes the first time since April 27, 2011 that there have been 2+ tornadoes that tracked 100+ miles in one day. The Mayfield KY tornado is the longest tracking tornado in modern history surpassing Yazoo City MS, and is one of the longest tornado paths in history.

Video of the tornado directly over the town of Smithville, for context the downtown area is about a mile beyond the tree line on the right. Considering it’s forward speed which was between 70-75mph, it’s likely the most intense damage occurred in just under 3 seconds.

Trousdale KS High-End EF3 May 4 2007. This enormous tornado quickly grew to 2.2 miles wide(possibly even wider) as it swept away a farm house, debarked trees, and tossed a combine 1/4 mile. Tornado was very likely significantly stronger than EF3 but impacted rural areas.
