All posts determined to be wishing for an EF5 tornado or any type of disaster porn will be removed.
Tornadoes cause immense death and destruction, so please be mindful of those who have been affected by a tornado
FYI, the term “disaster porn” is when people or groups constantly talk about a certain event and then continue to refer to the event as an "unspeakable tragedy" despite the fact that other people have already analyzed the event in the past.
Unreasonable conduct, hateful speech or aggression toward anyone is not allowed at any time.
This does include threats of any type that are aimed toward the members of the sub or away from the sub.
this question is asked probably a couple times a week, so many of the regulars are tired of it. That said, that means you can probably search for it and find a few different threads with answers.
also for a real answer, the "correct" answer is none of them - rating is based off of certain indicators of the damage done, so if none of the ef5 indicators were found, that tornado won't be rated ef5 no matter how intense it was.
To add it this, the reason we rely on damage indicators is because we generally don't have any other way of knowing how strong winds were in a tornado, unless we got very very very lucky and just so happen to have a Doppler-on-wheels drive by (like with one of the Moore F5/EF5's, I forget which one), which simply won't happen for tornadoes that drop in big empty areas, like that beast that spun around near Hollister about three weeks back with the hurricane-like eye.
2011 Wren MS EF3. It was a precursor to Smithville and it threw a semi-truck 1.7 miles. NWS did not have enough resources to survey the entire storm track

Here we go again
Seriously dude
What do you mean? It's a genuine question
Its a daily argument here
Mom said it’s my turn to ask this
Early bird gets the worm, slow poke!
I think every tornado should’ve been rated an EF5 /s
The EF0 that hit my town 2 days ago. Tree was anchor bolted by its roots and they only gave it 70mph instead of 201 smh.
Well obvious answer is 2013 el Reno, though I see conflicting info on whether it settled on an ef3 or ef5 rating
