2022年8月3日 · Made a previous comment about the few tornadoes I was confused about not getting an EF5 rating and to me it feels like they are waiting for something to compare to Joplin, Smithville, and the such. The problem is I reaaaaaally don't think we will see such monsters for a very long time which is the issue with my statement above.

This tornado has been talked about plenty, a very well known EF5. Tornadoes that haven’t been talked about enough? New wren Houston 2011, Direct predecessor to the Smithville monster. Rated EF3. But was amongst the strongest EF5s of that day from its Di’s. The other tornadoes of the May 24th outbreak, goldsby, chickasha ef4s of that day.

EF5 tornadoes: 5. Greensburg 2007 4. Hackelburg 2011 3. El Reno 2011 2. Philadelphia MS 2011 ...

Pretty Self Explanitory. I Don't think any tornadoes this year deserved EF5 (At Least from what I've Seen, maybe Greenfield) but a couple have absolutely had winds over 200 MPH, here's my list Minden, IA April 26: DOW Data showed 224 MPH Winds Hollister, OK April 30: Incredible Radar presentation close to radar.

Note: I decided to not include any tornadoes that weren't rated F5 or EF5, as the list would simply be too long/complicated to make. 1. Hackleburg-Phil Campbell Alabama EF5 (April 27th, 2011) - Maintained high EF4 to EF5 level damage for around 2 hours, the NWS also noted that the tornado maintained EF5 level intensity for up to 70 miles while ...

Not an EF5 but in the realm of strong but relatively brief tornadoes, El Reno 2013 was only a 16 mile path- wouldn’t call it short but given its strength and size that’s lower than people might expect.

2024年4月25日 · The solace is that most tornadoes if they reach that speed at all, are only at an EF-5 level for a few seconds. Maybe minutes in the very worst recorded incidents. It just takes too much energy for a storm to sustain, there isn't enough heat and moisture to drive such extreme behaviors for longer.

2015年10月14日 · I thought I'd put together a list of tornadoes that probably should have been rated F5 or EF5, mostly due either to extreme recorded winds or to inconsistent or overly conservative ratings. I'm almost certainly missing some, so feel free to add to the list: NOTE: List is ongoing, will add more tornadoes later Mayflower, Arkasnsas - April 27, 2014

We have most definitely had tornadoes reach and exceed EF5 strength since 2013. People get really wrapped up in the ratings, but realistically, a high-end EF4 isn't much different from an EF5. For example, Rochelle in 2015 was rated a 200mph EF4 vs the 2013 Moore Tornado which was rated as a 210mph EF5.

2024年4月28日 · There is only a finite number of places that even the strongest of tornadoes will receive the EF5 rating because the building standards are so strict. Even if a violent tornado observed up close by a DOW with winds at 300 mph isn’t going to get the 5 rating if it doesn’t hit and destroy anything with the construction criteria needed.
