This person was missed by the Bowling Green tornado by 3-5 miles, he said in the description that the roar was louder in person & he felt the air get really light.

I watched that tornado, never thought I’d ever see a debris ball like that. It literally followed the shape of the storms outflow. Unbelievable. I may never see another tornado like that in my life on radar.

NWS Louisville has already found EF3 damage in Bowling Green, preliminary 150mph. Survey still ongoing. Considering they've already found EF3 damage, I wouldn't be surprised if it's upgraded at some point.

For those that didn't track the event last night, this is not the extreme long tracker, this was a different tornado.

It was the other long tracker. nothing compared to the mayfield twister though.

Damage from Mayfield is Joplin level. Some of the worst I've ever seen... Of course the surveys will have to sort it out but if those homes were well-built then the drought is over

If the Mayfield tornado ends up with an EF5 rating *I think* it will be the first F5/EF5 in December in almost 70 years. The only one that I can think of off of the top of my head is the 1953 Vicksburg Tornado:

EF3 damage found near Defiance, MO. Hard to tell from the map, but I believe this may have been the one that almost hit the St. Louis radar.

This puts all other storms this year to shame. That debris ball! Ef5 drought is likely over IMO. Tragic. I watched that thing and it just would not die.

Fellas, this was a beast of a tornado outbreak, wow.
Destruction is on par with the Washington IL 2013 twister or even Joplin. Looks like high end EF-4 with the Destruction images, imo.

It's gonna come down to whether those houses were properly built or not. Either way, this will certainly be a high-end EF4 at the minimum. Personally I'm leaning towards EF5 but obviously that's no guarantee.
