@FlynnJansenWX Here’s the problem, people throw that logic aside and give Smithville the edge despite having less extreme damage.

Take of the day: there is essentially no way to accurately compare plains tornadoes to Dixie ones. It’s like comparing hurricanes to typhoons without direct data. Sure they’re the same storm, but under the hood, they are completely different than what their appearance may seem.

@BuffaloLaz57818 The amount of angry people in the comments is straight up ridiculous. This isn’t a bad take contrary to what others say.

The amount of angry people in the comments is stunning. I really don’t get it. This isn’t a bad take…

@TheUnrealAutism @BuffaloLaz57818 There's zones of Moore 2013 that literally remind me of Bridge Creek 1999 and Piedmont 2011. Those are 2 tornadoes I rank as the number one strongest of all time.

Not a hot take at all. Absolute, utter annihilation... That really doesn't even describe its horrors. Both were horrific but one is in a league of its own...

@TheUnrealAutism @BuffaloLaz57818 Why Moore is surpassing literally all 4/27 EF5s. Plowed yards Consistent vehicle obliteration Erasing forested sections Asphalt scouring Launching extremely heavy objects over extreme distances Consistent "mars" scouring

@t0rnadofx @BuffaloLaz57818 @wxenthusia92047 @Tholf18 Well....pulling plumbing out really isn't all that impressive for a violent tornado tbh. The tree damage? Dixie pines. It also didn't erase sections of forest (and no the beginning part of Smithville doesn't count, I question if they weren't removed at the time of photos).

@BuffaloLaz57818 @wxenthusia92047 @Tholf18 Pretty sure Smithville pulled the plumbing out of numerous homes. Smithville also has some of if not the most impressive tree damage ever seen. I can’t disagree too hard though they were both high-end.

@BuffaloLaz57818 @wxenthusia92047 @Tholf18 For me the only one that comes close to Moore is HPC. Moore 2013 literally has zones of Bridge Creek and Piedmont level destruction, just not quite as consistent as those living nightmares. It's on the upper end of extreme violence.

@wxenthusia92047 @Tholf18 no tornado on that day came close to Moore's apocalyptic scouring. to be fair Moore was moving much slower, but thats not even the worst car damage, plumbing was pulled out of EXP-UB homes with the homes disintegrated, hardwood trees shredded into literally nothing.

@NickKrasz_Wx Personally think this tornado was undergoing near constant vortex breakdown which is why the path has a couple breaks in it. The controversial opinion I have is that it actually peaked in the forests just northeast of the town where it caused deforestation.

This is surprisingly my first time reviewing all of the high-resolution imagery from the 2011 Smithville, MS EF5. It’s shocking how rapidly the tornado intensified, going from likely EF3 damage in the treeline to violent EF5 intensity as it began trenching the field and swept away a structure. I'm currently in the process of reanalyzing the entire path for a more accurate centerline.

Listen folks, I know not everyone out there likes me, but that is zero excuse to publicly leak my personal Facebook and use my old profile picture as your own. I don't care if it was only for a little bit, not cool man. Like genuinely that scared me.

On this day in 1994, F1 lost a legend. Ayrton Senna, widely considered the most compassionate F1 driver of all time. Senna would sadly be killed in a similar crash that killed his fellow competitor, Roland Ratzenberger one day earlier. Rest in peace Mr. Senna. #Senna #F1

@BurnetRose08 Parts are from Warmoth. I picked them out. I have no business making the parts myself.

@JWright_IV Did you make that guitar yourself? That’s absolutely brilliant. I look forward to seeing more updates.

I started this project back in 2021. Never finished it but I need to. As you can see it is a Fender Stratocaster body with a unique finish. I bought these parts from Warmoth bodies and necks. This guitar will have a Floyd Rose original tremolo system.

On this day in 1994, Roland Ratzenberger of Austria was tragically killed during a qualifying round of the 1994 Imola Grand Prix in Italy. He was one of 2 racers killed that weekend. His death made FIA begin to reconsider safety features for the cars. Tragically too late...

@PettusWX People just call it a bust because they didn't see anything and call it quits prematurely and as they drive home, it explodes.

Our area of increased forcing to fire storms is closing in, this will help fire additional storms and bring our main threat for strong, longed track tornadoes. I do not like the way things are shaping up, I am seeing way to many of yall call bust. You guys will be in for a surprise in the next few hours.

Seriously folks, it's honestly embarrassing. We do this crap every single event, especially nocturnal ones. Y'all can't change your opinions last minute to "No we knew it would do that" you already said "bust" when the event hasn't even began... Great job James!
