andyhb Posted December 24, 2014 Share Posted December 24, 2014 Looks like we have an EF3 (Columbia) and two EF2s (Amite and Laurel) produced by that long-lived supercell per damage assessment toolkit. Some of the damage produced by the Columbia tornado was quite impressive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
