You see, that's how climate change works. It makes the least amount of tornados and that's why it's dangerous.
But we can get our tornadoes back if you'll eat bugs, drive a EV, and pay higher taxes.

When one does hit you can be sure it was caused by climate change. The reason we haven’t had one is also climate change. Everything is climate change!

What separates a “tornado” from a “violent tornado”?
All a matter of RESPEKT! Hear me?

1. Smithville, Mississippi was the strongest tornado on 4/27/2011
Granulated debris is no laughing matter for sure.
There were some doozies that day, that Hackleburg-Phil Campbell tornado was ridiculous. So were the Rainsville and Philadelphia, MS storms.
The Tuscaloosa storm kind of overshadowed the rest.

2. The Mayfield, Kentucky tornado was an EF5
I've heard a lot of folks make this argument, also to a lesser extent, the Rolling Fork, MS tornado last year and that 3 mile wide behemoth in MS in 2020.

Do you mean " the strongest that day" or " strongest ever" ?
The strongest that day. What that tornado did (and in the short timespan it did it) is comparable to the strongest tornadoes I've looked into.

We watched the April,3,1974 tornado that hit Tanner, Alabama and continued through Capshaw and Harvest..from a few miles away.
My Pops also watched that one, and the others, that day as it headed towards Tanner. He would later watch the 4/27/11 tornado from nearly the same spot in the same yard.

However, I think the Jarrell, Texas tornado takes the cake for strongest ever. Look at the before and after pictures of that neighborhood it wiped out.
Jarrell is interesting for one direct opposite reason that Smithville is so interesting.
The Smithville tornado was moving, it flew through that town. The Jarrell tornado moved so slowly, it just seemingly sat. I couldn't imagine what it was like being in the path of that tornado. I've heard a couple of survivor stories that mentioned how long it seemed to last. Then, the direction it moved was also notable.

frick the NWS Paducah office. Dude was so frazzled he couldn’t even type out the Tornado Emergency 5-10 minutes before it hit. Even Ryan Hall called him out for it. It went out as soon as it hit the candle factory. When it destroys refortified concrete buildings and churches, that’s a problem.

Pretty pointless stat.
A tornado can be as strong as Moore or Joplin or Jarrell but if it doesn’t hit the right stuff it doesn’t get a high score. I’ve completely discounted the Fujita scale as a whole in respect to gauging a tornado’s strength.

I've seen your video on YouTube I assumed it was you with the same name as your username on here

It's the spiral wind effect from cars in roundabouts.

I was told by a Tornado enthusiast that el reno was the biggest. It just went through rural areas fortunately and didn't cause massive damage.
2.6 miles wide and winds of 295 mph is just crazy to think about.
Not much that gets me frazzled but I turn into a Karen helicopter parent anytime there's a chance of one. I've never been hit or real close to one but I have a heavy fear of them.

Only pieces of body parts were found of the victims. No one who was home that afternoon survived and all of the victims had to be ID'd using DNA and bone fragments.
Was it worse than Moore, OK?

I will never forget driving through Birmingham in 2011 and I pulled over when I saw the path of that F5 tornado that went through there. I've never seen something like that. There were 50 ft trees that look like Twigs sticking out of the ground. And the path was wide.

Should not have just checked the weather forecast here in Iowa for Friday.

Picked up a town of smithville check made to the USPS in my pasture in northern Alabama the morning after that outbreak
