This freeze frame really gives a sense of scale of the exceptional path width of the tornado 

Path width at least 2 miles

Prelim data here shows this tornado was much more than 1 mile wide.

High end damage all around along this portion of the Bassfield-Soso, MS EF4 track.

Now that's the ground scouring I was expecting to see out of this thing.

Not to get confused with other tornado which completely snapped trees at base and caused insane damage to vegetation. That one I firmly believe is mid to high level ef4.

I think they are still working on that one. It started in Slidell's CWA and went into Jackson's. Probably will take a while due to collaboration required.

What about the Monroe tornado? I remember seeing someone post in here that the couplet was near 200kts at peak. With the lack of attention it seems to be getting I’m guessing the ground truth doesn’t match.

I still find it fascinating how those two monster supercells emerged so quickly out of a cluster of grungevection that I had pretty much written off.  You don't see that every day.  Obviously the parameters supported such an evolution, but still...

Yes. Went from a blob to extreme supercell in about 1 hour. Will post some GR grabs in a minute.

This is one of the cleanest sweeps I've ever seen, and the best candidate for EF5 I've seen in years. Notice how not only is the foundation is clean of debris, the whole area is clean of debris, and there is no recognizable directional debris pattern. That is indicative of a remarkably violent tornado. Also note that all plumbing fixtures are all completely sheared off and missing as well. Most importantly, there is a close up video of the foundation perimeter on youtube, and not only is the house well-anchored, but the anchor bolts are bent flat against the slab from the force of the walls being violently ripped away. The only thing keeping me from saying with certainty that this is EF5 damage, is that there is some vegetation on the property that is suspiciously untouched, with quite a few leaves remaining. However, I'm wondering if these non-defoliated limbs and trees blew around the back side of the circulation from an area that wasn't affected by as violent of winds. Also not seeing any crazy grass scouring, but in any case, this is a candidate. We'll just have to see.

This area has not been surveyed yet. Some close up shots reveal that the anchors were partially ripped from the foundation as well...

Death toll increased to at least 27
