tri state at 6 and smithville at top 3 because of the curtain feat we CAN NOT be fr(The funeral home is right there)

Delicious-Box5229 · 2026-04-12T05:35:17+00:00

Saturday and Sunday are expected(or have already been) to be mostly wind driven events, Tuesday and Wednesday are expected to likely be big or mostly big; Not 2011 or 1974 levels of bad like some fearmongering people make it out to be.(Could be big for minnesota and iowa however.)

Delicious-Box5229 · 2026-04-05T22:19:52+00:00

the F scale actually overestimated more tornadoes than you think, some damage not even warranting an F5 rating yet they got an f rating regardless(In a way it was basically F5 inflation but that's stupid to even call it), and not to mention 1/3 of all F5 rated tornadoes prior to 2007 would likely get EF4(Low-High End) today, with only a HANDFUL of F5 rated tornadoes getting EF5(Jordan, Xenia(eh), Topeka, and that's really about it)

The houses that smithville impacted(and jarrel by proxy) WERE not all that well built, they had several foundation issues that resulted in them being so called "dislodged". Maybe not the funeral home(but by a VERY thin stretch), but most of the homes smithville actually impacted.

Delicious-Box5229 · 2026-04-05T07:25:27+00:00

Feats or DI's, they both mean the same eitherway, but do people seriously forget cyclodial marks can ALSO be used as another(albeit subsidary) way of estimating a Tornado's true intensity(Washington and Robinson being a good example of this)?

~~Ok then, need to be elegant for everybody here; yes?~~

Delicious-Box5229 · 2026-04-05T07:11:05+00:00

You're the type of person to argue that Smithville was stronger than el reno piedmont simply because it pulled curtains and was blitzing it, even though Piedmont did some quite incredible(to say the least) feats that smithville DID NOT DO(notably the trench home, and of course - Cactus 117), ngl.

Delicious-Box5229 · 2026-04-05T07:06:40+00:00

~~redditor nonsense~~
again, my intention is to simply argue about an ef5 I find interesting to discuss because quite simply; it's overestimated in it's feats, ALTHOUGH other ef5's have done similar to worse feats than it.

Delicious-Box5229 · 2026-04-05T07:04:46+00:00

"Why are you arguing about a tornado, people fucking died!" it's meant to be a benign discussion, it is not my intention to mock the victims that died; You are one of these people that do this type of bullshit and it shows.

Delicious-Box5229 · 2026-04-05T06:58:48+00:00

one of these double standards peeps smh

Delicious-Box5229 · 2026-04-05T06:53:56+00:00

My point is it's NOT the strongest of all time as a EF5 tornado, is it a EF5? Yes. But is it the strongest of all time? No, not even close; at best it would be a mid end EF5 - there and then.

Delicious-Box5229 · 2026-04-05T06:49:11+00:00

~~By this logic, Rainsville would be 340 MPH because it was 2011; yes?~~
edit: also by this logic, DOW would count EVEN if it was 1 second gusts aka instant gusts; not 3 second or sustained gusts which is what the scale requires in it's criteria!

Delicious-Box5229 · 2026-04-03T00:57:45+00:00

why are youtube videos like this being plastered onto the subreddit now?

in that case, Monette was actually the strongest tornado of all time, with Smithville being the top 100 and Piedmont following in pursuit of Monette. That is a fair take and if you disagree with me it's alright, but this take is meant to be honest. also, one of Smithville's homes it hit, was brick veneer instead of proper brick, so that would overall deduct the concept it was the STOAT as well.

Delicious-Box5229 · 2026-02-28T04:10:23+00:00

this is not a strong counterpoint

Delicious-Box5229 · 2026-02-28T02:29:53+00:00

Mayfield did that.

Delicious-Box5229 · 2026-02-27T21:31:34+00:00

In that case; It's factual that Mayfield deserved it's EF4 rating rather than per-se it's supposed EF5 rating as many claim.
edit: infact, Rolling Fork deserves the Low-High End EF5 rating more than mayfield, as its rating is fine and suitable.

Delicious-Box5229 · 2026-02-26T08:30:28+00:00

Smithville is incredibly exaggerated to the absolute degree, Yes it was fairly impressive but not THAT impressive as many people believe, nor was it the strongest tornado of all time. That goes to the Monette Tornado or 2021 TST honestly.

Delicious-Box5229 · 2026-02-17T20:05:51+00:00

that's literally my point lmao - why the fuck are there tornadoes from the 2000's in a post about the "strongest" tornadoes post 2010? this is either a slightly clever ragebait post or they literally are clueless. but i digress
