Very interesting stuff going on there velocity wise. Seeing multiple tight TVS signatures spinning up and occluding among a broader area of rotation. Edit: Looks like parallel tornadoes in progress

Probably a TOG east of Cassville, MO.

Some very impressive velocity signatures in ND right now, one of which has a "large and extremely dangerous" tornado reported with it.

The EF4 damage was confined to a single subdivision in the Bridgeton area where 2-3 homes were leveled at the end of a Cul-de-sac. 90% of the damage was EF1/EF2 with a few other pockets of EF3.

Oh man the sound is terrifying. That earth shaking roar.

While we are posting videos, let me share some crazy but little known Tuscaloosa videos. Crazy close.. Almost direct hit here, and contains some of the best tornado roar audio iv'e heard And this is the Hackleburg/ Phil Campbell tornado as it hit Harvest. This may be the scariest sky I have ever seen in a tornado video.

It's hard to find good video of the Rainsville tornado. This is the best I can find.

The multiple pieces issue actually occurred in Rainsville, Hackleburg, Ohatchee, and Tuscaloosa, I just didn't want to get too graphic. Smithville culvert: Also check out 7:50 in this video. Those big square concrete areas are where entire factory warehouses were swept away. This was taken near Pleasant Grove.

Yeah asphalt isn't all that reliable, I remember hearing about asphalt scouring during the Vilonia EF2 I think. I forgot about the mobile home. That, the cars, and (mostly) that insane ground troughing I think led them to that rating.

Yeah jeans from the plant were found in towns far across the state. The Philadelphia tornado was rated EF5 due to the asphalt and ground scouring, and the fact that cars were wrapped around trees. The structural damage from the tornado was rated low end EF4. The tornado was only upgraded when they found the scouring and vehicle damage.

I agree, each produced incredible phenomenon. Smithville: A steel culvert buried underneath a road was actually pulled up through the earth and asphalt and thrown, leaving a section of the road and ground missing. I heard that 3 people were killed when a concrete above ground safe room was torn away. Lots of foundation sweeping. Phil Campbell/Hackleburg/Tanner: A car was wrapped around a tree and pavement was scoured. Countless homes were swept away, some of which actually had their concrete slabs cracked and scoured. Don't read this next park if you are squeamish...the body count for this one was made difficult because a lot of the victims were found in multiple pieces. Rainsville: A pickup truck was thrown and obliterated into multiple pieces. An 800 pound steel safe anchored to a home foundation was torn away, thrown 600 feet, and found with it's door torn from it's hinges. A stone pillar was pulled from the ground and smashed to pieces, and some homes actually had their concrete porches torn from the ground, thrown, and broken into pieces. Philidelphia: I think that this was the most violent tornado of the outbreak. Think about this, the Philadelphia tornado produced the most insane ground scouring I have ever seen, worse than that at Jarrell and Bridge Creek. It actually dug a 2 foot trench in the ground, deeper than the grass and topsoil. Consider that the Jarrell tornado was an F5 and moving much slower, yet still didn't do this. Consider that the Bridge Creek tornado is the considered by some the most violent ever, and it STILL did nothing like this. The Philidelphia tornado was a very fast mover, and was rated EF5 for hitting an open field. Incredible.
