Sounds like the NWS believes two possible tornadoes hit Henryville. The first tornado is the one that has been rated an EF4. I would tend to think if there was a second one from the second supercell, it would have been weaker based on radar velocities.

Sounds like the NWS believes two possible tornadoes hit Henryville. The first tornado is the one that has been rated an EF4. I would tend to think if there was a second one from the second supercell, it would have been weaker based on radar velocities.
Where are you getting the Henryville info from? I don't see any updated statements.

Yeah we were there yesterday evening. Bad cell reception isn't quite the problem, at least as of last evening, there was no cell reception, at least on Verizon and Sprint.Seems like bad cell reception in complicating getting the information back to the WFO.

Wondering if that is going to rise.
They are waiting for more detailed information from the survey teams once they arrive back in the office, but it sounds like they are done with the surveys. The main street West Liberty picture from yesterday looked about EF3 damage, so there must not have been any more significantly damaged structures that they could find.

Yeah our IMAT has been here since last night. Cell service is still spotty at best. Verizon has been working to 're-signal" areas towards Henryville and they have already gotten positive feedback about more coverage. Where I am at in Henryville however, has not seen much.

Is there any chatter about where the EF4 damage occurred? Again, without knowing the integrity of buildings, some of the worst damage actually looked like it was farther northeast toward Marysville/Chelsea.

I have not seen any mention of where the specific damage occurred, but I agree that Marysville looked comparatively worse to my eye.

Assuming those homes were relatively well built, some of those damage pictures out of Marysville looked easily EF4, possibly higher.I have not seen any mention of where the specific damage occurred, but I agree that Marysville looked comparatively worse to my eye.

Assuming those homes were relatively well built, some of those damage pictures out of Marysville looked easily EF4, possibly higher.
I think most "telling" photo is the one of the tree stump with what appears to be someone's concrete porch and front steps with no houses behind it, just a field strewn with debris. So even assuming a well built home, the expected wind speed for slab swept clean is 200 mph. This is the upper limit of EF4. My assumption is that they would need to find better than well built, and more than just one lot that featured this kind of damage.
Regardless, there are more than a few houses with all walls collapsed, which falls comfortably within EF4 range.
