@wxkylegillett@JayLesykWX You got no idea man it was such a cool updraft! Had the full repertoire of supercell structure despite being like a city block sized updraft. Even had the twisting barber pole look at times! Was sooo happy to see this
This tornado dragged an entire concrete walkway to a house. @junefirstwx did a damage analysis with this indicator. He predicted it had to take wind speeds of at least 223 mph to do this type of thing.
This tornado definitely had EF5 intensity at some point of its life.
Team #Dominator digs out a tornado
DAMAGING CONE #TORNADO with no tornado warning north of Welfleet, Nebraska!
Team Dominator continues to have a BIG May for science!

At this time, 7 years ago, a violent tornado touched down near the major city of Dayton, Ohio on Memorial Day 05/27/2019. The tornado was rated EF4 with winds of 170 mph. The tornado traveled 18.2 miles and grew to 1050 yds wide. Only 166 people were injured. #wxtwitter
@ZachWX_ I remember that tornado that was possibly close to a violent tornado. Also that was from a tropical system by Hurricane Ida. That was a really unexpected beast of a tornado. I’m pretty sure there was other EF3 DI’s from it though. Still unfortunate for the house.
Another one I would talk about unlucky is the Naperville-Woodridge, IL EF3 in 2021. It’s pretty evident that the house that was hit by an intense sub-vortex. Only EF3 indicator from this tornado.
@StormCaptures if you wanna talk about unlucky, check this house out from the Barnesville, GA EF3 in 2011. Literally every other house sustained EF0 damage
It was an extremely narrow violent nocturnal tornado, unfortunately no images exist of the vortex. Absolutely insane wind gradient from this helicopter perspective
The Hendersonville, TN EF2 in question…. Still can’t believe the type of construction those homes had paired with the damage with it. Should be illegal on that type of construction.
This is what a tornado did to a 286,000 pounds (143 Tons), train cars. Winds had of approach at least 266 mph to throw the one that was farthest away. This was from the 6/20/25, Enderlin, ND EF5. Any well-built structure would likely be obliterated by this tornado.

@nmheath0377742@222rainclouds You serius? You know that a house is havier than a train carriage. How much are you stupid in your country full of obese and drug addicted?
@GumryWX@JackRuddenWX Some people just never understand that although it might not be strong on radar it can still lead to a tornado. It seemed to have enough lower level spin to produce one. That’s exactly what I was trying to tell him about!!!
This should be noted the vortex gradient ripped the antenna off at a max obs. of 175mph est. before true obs. and by the video alone testing gradients and using typhoon/hurricane ref. suggests clear EF-5 intensities inside the vortex. TVS G2G ~207mph HGF ~271mph CGF ~224mph <-
