This shot from Storm Chaser Freddy McKinney, mark my words, will be in the history books. What a monstrous, powerful, and truly violent tornado. Photographed right as it peaked in width and intensity. This shot has Rochelle, Illinois vibes.

Depends on the construction of the house. A poorly constructed house can be leveled by an EF2/EF3.

Tornado intensity sheets can be generated through the NWS and NWS SPC websites. There actually might be some radar software that allows you to generate this. If I’m not mistaken, GR Level can populate this data sheet as well.

Radar estimated intensity for the Bennington/Blair tornado

Minutes ago, looked as if there could of been a trio

Historically violent tornado….images are for the history books

212mph gate-to-gate minutes ago

Minden, IA tornado peaked around 185-200mph. Debris ball was indicative of 3mi width. Debris ball was very large with debris being lofted well out ahead of the tornado. Classic multiple vortex based on videos I’ve seen on Twitter.

Btw…can anyone confirm if the Calhoun Nuclear Plant was damaged?

Classic, textbook hook echo and supercell. Very sickening and gut wrenching to see this evolve and take shape over populated areas.

Still don’t understand how there’s no tornado warning for this storm passing by Campbellsville, KY.

It’s definitely producing now, still surprised at the lack of a Tor Warning.

Likely a tornado producing supercell south of Campbellsville, KY. Currently unwarned ATM.

Interesting NOAA NHC 5pm discussion. Ophelia to continue intensification into landfall. No mention of impacts from shallow shelf waters, seems to indicate Gulf Current to mitigate shelf impacts.
