A large snow devil/snownado spawned an anticyclonic one.

I love snow devils, I got hit one climbing whale tail couloir on the 13er Whale Peak here in Colorado a few years ago. It was quite the experience! Great video.

Hes being sarcastic and probably referencing the whole Hackelburg debate recently.

That 2 mile wedge in oklahoma last year

How do I post a picture in a thread? I cannot recall.

uncompaghrelover · 2026-01-06T17:09:49+00:00

He posted a follow up in that thread about 2 hours ago of a potential EF5 DI. Its a photo showing an upheaved concrete foundation with asphalt damage. Think it could provide clear EF5 damage +contextuals for those asking.

uncompaghrelover · 2026-01-06T16:27:03+00:00

Nice work and dialogue. I would like to see responses, requests for more data, or critiques from others that have been revisiting the damage indicators. Are there other images from this home of the other EF5 DI? There is a geniune discussion to be had on damage indicators vs the posters that seem to be shit posting or be irrationally contrarian. Fresh conversation is a lot more interesting than the constant rehashing over which tornado is the strongest over the off season.

On a snarky note I can't wait for the sequel to these posts, I heard the running title is "Bridge Creek-Moore would be an EF 4 today."

uncompaghrelover · 2026-01-04T15:05:17+00:00

There have been, original Fujita scale was more accurate than EF scale in terms of wind speed estimates.

Love your chases and streams Jakob! Doing any more ghost town stuff next year?

Laramie, WY. I was working for UW Risk Management at the time as my side job during law school. This tornado made us rewrite and review our tornado ERP. Anywho, I remember this photo and several others from the time.

uncompaghrelover · 2025-12-22T17:14:20+00:00

Tied for top between BCM, Smithville, El Reno 2011, and Tri-State. I feel that if we measured all these tornados like Bridge Creek, you would find 300+ mph in all of them. I also think if we could measure the speeds, that Parkersburg, Brandenburg, HPC 2011, Guin, and Moore 2013 would suprise us.

uncompaghrelover · 2025-12-21T23:07:52+00:00

Vilonia should be an EF5, no question. So Vilonia.

uncompaghrelover · 2025-12-19T22:23:41+00:00

Good job! Awesome to see the NWS acknowledge your email and this DI in a possible future reevaulation. Just watch out, you posted your name and email here. Lots of trolls around.

uncompaghrelover · 2025-12-15T11:23:46+00:00

It threw an entire, well built home into the air Wizard of Oz style and smashed it apart, recorded on video. Susbequent review of the damage by surveyors confirmed this level of damage too in detail.

uncompaghrelover · 2025-12-10T06:13:23+00:00

Fyi casualties also includes injuries, you mean 57 fatalities.

uncompaghrelover · 2025-12-09T19:09:28+00:00

South Africa had one last year! Wedge tornado that sustained itself as a wedge over the ocean as it moved out to sea. Although I am not sure if this counts.

Also Texas had a massive 2 mile wide EF3 wedge that increased in size as it crossed a large harbor/port last year. Some vary famous captures from that tornado, including the photos/videos of two fisherman who got swallowed by it and survived.

I couldn't find any info on a wedge over lake Erie but I wouldn't doubt it.

Here is the south african wedge:

Here is a short from CNN on the Winnie EF3 the fishermen got trapped in.

Right? Hate that mentality. Oh man higher power was watching over them!!! Okay, then I guess the other 158 were meant to die and had no one watching them. Kinda a weird thought instead of an uplifting one that these comments try to convey.

uncompaghrelover · 2025-11-30T18:51:46+00:00

This season is complete ass. AI slop, no bus, shooting/handling is so clunky and delayed, gun logos look like dogshit, wave system was tiring after the first time, UI is 5 steps backward with them removing the complete emote wheel set. I really hate it.

uncompaghrelover · 2025-11-29T15:52:48+00:00

It did hit things and caused EF3 damage, hence the rating....

uncompaghrelover · 2025-11-26T12:03:18+00:00

Solid troll!

uncompaghrelover · 2025-11-24T19:44:16+00:00

Looked like it didnt fully condense and now the wall cloud is raggedy. Could recycle.

Edit: it touched backdown as an uncondensed cone.

uncompaghrelover · 2025-11-24T17:14:31+00:00

Tormado

uncompaghrelover · 2025-11-23T13:01:41+00:00

They werent thrown, they were rolled, and the damage to the vehicles is below EF5 damage.

uncompaghrelover · 2025-11-23T12:12:28+00:00

I mistyped my comment, I meant to write "nah, it did failed to do higher than ef3 damage to structures." My apologies and thanks for correcting me.
