GR level 2 radar loops of strong tornado events

With the current boring pattern and trying to distract myself from one of the worst Bears losses I've seen in my life...I thought I would make this thread. I will start with a few now and add some every now and then.

5/22/11- Joplin, MO EF-5 (Joplin marked by the red dot)

The environment suggested the possibility of strong tornadoes in southwest MO but what amazes me is how quickly it spun up and you can get a sense in some of the videos of it showing it going from a funnel to a full blown wedge in seconds.

5/4/07-Greensburg EF-5

One of my favorite tornado events of all-time to go back and look at. Analyzing the entire synoptic and even more, mesoscale setup is amazing to me and how the hodograph dramatically near dark, left split after left split after left split then BOOM.

Both of these supercells were insane, although the edge goes to Greensburg storm (from a meteorological persepctive of course) for producing so many tornadoes and several very large, violent ones.

Good post, Here's a few more suggestions if you have them...

Tuscaloosa storm (4/27/11)

El Reno/Piedmont storm (5/24/11)

Yazoo City storm (4/24/10)

Atkins/Clinton/Mountain View storm (2/5/08)

Tri-State Supercell (4/2/06)

Six-State Supercell (3/12/06)

Cullman/Flat Rock storm (4/27/11)

Philadelphia/Cordova/Rainsville/Ringgold storm (4/27/11)

Hackleburg/Phil Campbell/Tanner storm (4/27/11)

Parkersburg storm (5/25/08)
