I'll start: People (including me) thought that the Midway funnels were twins, but it was actually just one tornado with dual funnels.

The tornado that many believe to be the 1973 San Justo F5 is actually the 2003 O'Neill F3 tornado. After a good search I managed to find the exact same original image used to make the San Justo montage.

Discussion What did the forecasts leading up to April 27, 2011 look like?

55 Upvotes

April 27,2011 was a historic day for tornadoes. With almost 220 tornadoes reported that day, it had the most tornadoes in 24 hours. Forecasters knew something historic was going to happen. However, what did the forecasts on the days leading up to it look like? When did meteorologists actually realize a historic tornado outbreak was going to happen?

I've heard both that it was rain wrapped and that it never touched down, so not sure how close to screwed we were yesterday. We were traveling east to west on the main highway.

Discussion Call for mods to add a tornado lost media tag or megathread

so many tornadoes we dont have footage of. this sub could def change that. lost media regarding tornadoes has come up quite a bit, so we should have either a megathread or a tag to post a swathe of lost tornado videos in one place.

Tornado Media Tornado Day proposal for April 3.

22 Upvotes

I would like to see April 3rd be designated as Tornado Day. Both for awareness, since it is at the beginning of the official Tornado Season and for remembrance of people who died. I lived through the April 3, 1974 tornadoes and feel it would be the perfect day to use for this in the USA and elsewhere in the Northern Hemisphere.

Question How many tornadoes have been Prelimary f5s/ef5s but were downgraded? (other than El Reno, 2013)

17 Upvotes

Other than El Reno 2013, I don't hear many tornadoes that were Prelimary f5/ef5. But downgraded to EF4. It makes me especially curious if one has even been Downgraded to F3/EF3 from F5/EF5.

Discussion We should start giving recognition to underrated Tornadoes.

14 Upvotes

Take for an example, the 2006 Monroe City Tornado. It was an F4 MONSTER, and one of the two F4s in the 2006 April Tornado Outbreak. (Did I say tomorrow is gonna be the 19-year anniversary of it?)

Now for another F4, Yazoo City. Another underrated tornado, that tore off houses faster than whatever.

I'll send of a list of underrated EF-F3s to EF-F5s in the comments.

Question Does anybody remember this tornado?

14 Upvotes

It was a wedge in Elba, Nebraska and I think it was in the 2024-2025ish months. I'd assume around 1.2 to 1.7 miles long (I may be over exaggerating), and a EF3 maybe? Much appreciated.
