  12. This year marks the 99th year anniversary of the tri state tornado of march 1925. Though it was decades later rated an F5 tornado, also this year marks the 50th year anniversary of the 1974 tornado super outbreak.

  14. I can remember seeing photos of the hackleburg and Phil Campbell tornado damage just after the storm and seeing literal asphalt peeled from the roadways from the pure strength of that tornado, I’ll never forget living through that day as long as I live, I stood on my back porch and watched the EF-4 (the afternoon) Tornado hit Cordova for the second time in the same day April 27, 2011 will forever be burned into my memory

  15. I think the 2013 El Reno tornado should have had an honorable mention since it was measured at ~300mph and was 2.6 miles wide (the widest ever recorded) on top of being the first ever tornado to kill storm chasers due to its unusual behavior and unpredictability (Samaras & co). The only reason it didn't get the EF5 rating was because it mostly tracked through rural/less populated areas. But we all know that thing was just as dangerous if not more so than other officially rated EF5s. In fact, it was initially rated EF5 until being downgraded to EF3 because it simply didn't get to destroy much due to the location.

  21. I´m wondering which significant Tornadoes are lost in History. Written History in the US doesn´t date back very far and as you said, even Tornadoes in the first half of the 20th Century aren´t well understood and are sometimes a mystery (Tri-State, Woodward, etc.). But how many are completely forgotten throughout the World? How many are partly forgotten and cannot be rated at all? Its alway fascinating when i think about the 1979 Brandenburg Tornado. Its existance was known but not more. In the 2000s suddenly Pictures of its Damage appeared and People dug deeper into private photos and descriptions about it. Ultimately it was able to rate it F4. A small Path through a Forest is visible until today on Satellite Images.
