Moderately Unstable Posted December 11, 2021 Share Posted December 11, 2021 8 minutes ago, andyhb said: Debris to 35k feet on that Mayfield storm. Easily an EF4 or EF5. In light of the debris height, the TBSS, and the fact it basically went through a major town, the odds of finding EF5 damage are actually pretty high. As you know, the surveys done after are looking for degrees of damage. A LOT of the time, there's evidence for a stronger rating, but the tornado didn't hit anything at that time that would be able to score a degree of damage to indicate such wind speed (e.g., the thing would be entirely destroyed, lofted, or otherwise "maximally damaged" at a lower wind speed). Since this hit basically center to a town, many homes were hit. We can reasonably assume this is a multivortex, so, all it takes is 1 subvortex hitting one well built house and sweeping it from the foundation to classify the entire thing as an EF5. The 2020 Bassfield tornado was a potential EF5, couldn't find damage consistent with that intensity. Something tells me this is different. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MidwestChaser Posted December 11, 2021 Share Posted December 11, 2021 HE SEVERE WEATHER THREAT FOR TORNADO WATCH 552, 554 CONTINUES. SUMMARY...A STRONG TO POTENTIALLY VIOLENT TORNADO IS ONGOING AND EXPECTED TO CONTINUE FOR AT LEAST ANOTHER HOUR. DISCUSSION...A STRONG SUPERCELL WITH A HISTORY OF A LONG-TRACK TORNADO WITH INTENSE TO POTENTIALLY VIOLENT DAMAGE HAS RECENTLY INTENSIFIED ONCE AGAIN ACROSS SOUTHWEST KENTUCKY. LATEST RADAR AND ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS GIVE HIGH CONFIDENCE THAT AN INTENSE TO POTENTIALLY VIOLENT TORNADO HAS OCCURRED ACROSS SOUTHWEST KENTUCKY. THE RADAR PRESENTATION OF THIS STORM CONTINUES TO BE EXTREMELY FAVORABLE FOR CONTINUED INTENSE, LONG-LIVED TORNADOES. NEARBY CONVECTION HAS MOSTLY DISSIPATED WHICH MAY ALLOW A MORE STEADY-STATE TO CONTINUE AS IT MOVES NORTHEAST. THE DOWNSTREAM ENVIRONMENT REMAINS VERY FAVORABLE WITH UPPER 60S TO LOW 70S DEWPOINTS AND BACKED SURFACE WINDS WITH STP AROUND 5 TO 6. EVENTUALLY, EXPECT STORM ACTIVITY TO THE WEST TO CATCH THIS SUPERCELL, BUT UNTIL THAT HAPPENS, CONTINUED STRONG TO POTENTIALLY VIOLENT TORNADIC DAMAGE IS EXPECTED TO CONTINUE ALONG ITS PATH.
