    Never mind the fact that a well built home, recent construction, that was anchored to its foundation, was not just leveled, that was completely swept away with nearby trees debarked. The same case could be made for Mayfield Kentucky as well as Rochelle, Illinois.

      They need to create a new scale that is actually consistent. Greenfield was the most blatant case of "that's EF-5" tornado I have ever seen.

      There were also several exposed basements.. like.. "the damage didn't support an EF-5 rating", BULLSHIT. We have eyes.

    The rating system needs to account for windspeeds detected by rader at least from 300 ft above ground and under.

    I've been saying for months this tornado should've been rated EF5. Winds over 200 MPH detected? Check, up 300+ were detected. Damage consistent with EF5 damage? Well the conversation below me says enough; I've seen photos of the damage too. By comparison, I almost thought I was looking at photos of damage caused by the 2013 tornado in Moore.

      is it just me or have some past EF5s and F5s had less significant. damage than this tornado and Mayfield and rolling fork?

      I swear the EF5 drought made this all worse. Because now there’s likely this mysticism to making a tornado an EF5 because it was the one to break the drought.

      It hit greenfield as a ef4 because it was weakening significantly just before and when it reached greenfield so since it hit and did ef4 damage in greenfield it was rated as such even tho when it was in a middle of nowhere it had 306 to 318mph.

      actually, that one was worse, this thing certainly would have been and F5 there, but so would many other tornadoes that really are EF4s or even EF3s. What we need is a new scale, a revised enhanced fugita scale.
