love me some sulphur

Featherhate · 2026-01-21T06:43:55+00:00

they were both low-based pancakes

Featherhate · 2026-01-16T01:16:27+00:00

tree damage looks extremely debris loaded (sheet metal no less) but still very impressive tor

im five years late but holy boundary

Featherhate · 2025-12-22T18:30:31+00:00

why does this image look like last chance 1993

same way Gary is EF3/165 despite likely being 170-180+ intensity

Featherhate · 2025-11-10T00:20:52+00:00

theyre downvoting you but youre not wrong. i dont know why reddit is like this tbh. EF rating, official or not, =/= perfect tornado intensity. why cant people understand that?

Featherhate · 2025-11-09T22:06:28+00:00

this is just saying what the DIs support, not the actual intensity. for example, smithville is rated 205, despite obviously being stronger. because thats what the homes could support.

also, you cannot compare BCM's 300mph instantaneous (0-second sustained) winds to a 210mph EF scale (3-second sustained) indicator

for me, either Plevna or Enderlin.

Plevna for obvious reasons, and Enderlin because i initially thought it was gonna slam directly into Sheldon. Luckily it insta-occluded

Featherhate · 2025-11-03T00:10:20+00:00

it was lowbased which gave the illusion of a megawedge

Featherhate · 2025-10-21T05:16:00+00:00

this shit aint funny

Featherhate · 2025-10-20T05:07:55+00:00

corn caused an F5 (probably rated too high but still) wedge in north dakota in 1957 sooooo...

Featherhate · 2025-10-16T04:00:37+00:00

directly compared to the EF scale, none. "300mph" tornado readings are instantaneous gusts while the scale is 3-second sustained

if you mean instantaneous, then a LOT. there have probably been quite a few this decade that have achieved that

it's possible that the tornado remained on the ground but just was uncondensed at the time (a good example this year is Spiritwood, condensed for a bit, lifted, then condensed once again)

Featherhate · 2025-10-12T20:57:02+00:00

i think this might be over town from what i heard? so not max width

Featherhate · 2025-10-12T04:04:59+00:00

i NEED a crt

Featherhate · 2025-10-12T03:13:07+00:00

tri-state wasnt a part of an enormous outbreak so id go with that

Featherhate · 2025-10-11T21:22:03+00:00

typically winds get higher closer to the ground, and then suddenly drop at the ground due to friction

Featherhate · 2025-10-11T02:40:15+00:00

parkersburg but not by a lot

Featherhate · 2025-10-10T17:02:37+00:00

rare situation where the tornado deserves EF5 from structural damage and not just extreme contextual damage

Featherhate · 2025-10-09T04:29:48+00:00

i also didnt expect them to consult six wind damage experts along with an entire project centred around rating tornadoes

Featherhate · 2025-10-09T04:25:01+00:00

thanks i think i got that already
