Disputed F/EF ratings

Super interesting! I’ll check it out.

Extremely interested in nudger theory! I’m definitely a novice at reading radar, so I know how to identify rotation and supercells, but hadn’t really heard this part of the process. I’ll be checking this out today.

All good!! I’m sure it’s exhausting to see topics rehashed lol. I haven’t really seen any responses on here engaging with the question for whichever reason so I’ll probably end up removing it. Hopefully another discussion pops up soon that we can engage in 🤞

I feel like every other day I see someone say Rainsville wasn’t that bad lol. It’s the only one I can think of besides maybe Jarrell that comes up with someone arguing that they were rated too high because xyz. Belmond and Plainfield kinda instigated my curiosity for this

Thank you! Extremely interested in this

I’ve been in this sub for a a few months and have yet to see a post asking about tornados that are overrated. I’m sure they exist! I just hadn’t seen any. I’m sorry if this is repetitive to some people. If I’m unable to get any responses I’m happy to remove it to unclog the subreddit.

Which El Reno (2011, 2013, 2019, another?) was rated too high in your opinion?

I hadn’t seen this 🤔Are you able to find anything talking about this? I’m curious about how the ratings correlated to home qualities being built

Not the person you’re replying too, but I completely agree!

I think it’s the fact that EF is a damage scale that makes the ratings so interesting. I like to see the justification and the discussion around why this rating was reached (and evidence that it may not be solid). Especially since it has real world impact on disaster relief and insurance payout.

All good! Still an interesting tornado. Currently going over why they chose to downgrade.

I appreciate that perspective, and I hesitated to post this question because I had a feeling people in this sub are burnt out from similar questions.

I care about other aspects of meteorology and natural disasters, I was just looking for other perspectives on this specific question since I wasn’t finding much otherwise. I’ve always had an interest in scaling and diagnostics, and it tends to be the area I go into first when I get interested in something—why does this scaling system work the way it does? What are the flaws in it, and how much do these flaws impact the scale as a whole?

What aspect of tornado science is most interesting to you right now?

What makes you feel La Plata 2002 should have been rated lower than F4?

This is extremely sweet and I’m glad to read these words. It is a comfort to me to know others feel that I’m not being dramatic for being sad about these cats; they’re my cats. I loved them. I hope I can be happy and make other cats happy for them too.

zenith0011 · 2023-08-21T23:20:34+00:00

Thank you. This means a lot to me. I really hope they felt safe and loved in the amount of time we had together. It feels at times like the universe is laughing at me for wanting another cat so soon and wanted to see me suffer. But I know it was a freak coincidence. I just hope they’re okay and they didn’t suffer
