    And, to what Superstorm posted, what about if that hole around Atlanta wasn't a hole...

    Excellent posts there.

    From the Rainsville/Sylvania tornado?

    Well, it's now officially the morning of 4/27, hard to believe that just last year we were watching the overnight convection, along with the SPC's 06z Day 1 High Risk, that in about 12 hours, one of the worst tornado outbreaks in US history was about to unleash its full fury.

    It does make sense, I can't see anything less than an EF5 causing that kind of scouring.
  6. andyhb
    It wouldn't be the asphalt scouring, the EF3 in Americus, GA on March 1st, 2007 scoured the pavement. I remember seeing something in the survey for the Philadelphia tornado that said that a mobile home was thrown 300+ yards without any sign of a ground impact in between, after which it was obliterated, with the fatalities occurring here as well. I've gone through this thread multiple times since I joined the site and it is always a worthwhile read.

    The Philadelphia tornado was rated EF5 for more than just the ground scouring. Also, the damage to the Wrangler Plant in Hackleburg was incredible.

    That video also shows a Pampa-like event where a van is picked up and hurled hundreds of yards from its original location, shortly after the F5 damage to the home. This tornado was one of the kings of the "drill-bit".

    I can easily say that the EF5s in this outbreak were certainly among the strongest ever from a damage perspective...

    Two of those overshooting tops are easily identifiable. The one North Central/Central AL is Tuscaloosa/Birmingham and I believe the one in NE AL is Cordova/Rainsville.

    And also how the event progressed from a more linear look on Wednesday to "holy crap this is gonna be a discrete supercell bonanza"...

    This thread is brilliant.

    Compare that to areas like the Oklahoma City, Birmingham/Tuscaloosa and Little Rock metros and it doesn't seem like a lot, although what matters is that Joplin got the big one just like Birmingham and OKC have gotten...
  14. andyhb
    The sound from 3:25 on is just ferocious...

    Merry Christmas to all of the folks in Joplin, here's to a continued recovery.
  16. andyhb
    Great way to finalize it.

    Classic fall storm moving into the Coast. Definitely a wind producer as well as heavy rain/snow at higher elevations. Sub 975 mb sfc low right now.

    What an absolute monster...
  19. andyhb
    Had to be moving faster than the May '98 derecho to beat you at that

    10% hatched around the Joplin area.

    CNN's nonsense was even worse on the day of the April 27th outbreak and the aftermath, I don't even want to go there because it will piss me off, tbqh.
  22. andyhb
    Almost certainly not the widest. Although, it was similar to the Wichita Falls tornado in 1979 in that it had a wide swath of consistently catastrophic damage.
  23. andyhb
    The Rainsville tornado from April 27th tore concrete porches from the ground, tore a stone pillar from a house/broke it in half and threw an 800 pound, anchored safe 600 feet and ripped the door from its hinges, so I'm not surprised a tornado of generally equal intensity would be capable of such incredible phenomena.
  24. andyhb
    That is insane.
  25. andyhb
    Weather pornography right there.
