Thread 514677147

Is this due to the government controlling the weather?

umm no chud its due to cows farting and whites being too racist.

It's because they changed the rating system to make it more difficult for a tornado to reach the criteria for being classified as EF5. Specifically, you need homes that are built to a specific standard, which get completely swept off of their foundations. A lot of times, there will be houses that get completely wiped away, but the houses will be deemed too structurally weak for it to count as EF5 damage. The EF scale is based on damage indicators as a proxy for wind speed estimates, rather than direct measurements of wind speeds.

To elaborate: a tornado that hits an empty field will never be classified anything above EF3, no matter how powerful or monstrous it is, because there's nothing around for it to deal damage to.

Then they should retrograde previous tornados if they are going to change the scale, what use is it?
but has there been a tornado since 2013 that had a windspeed above 300mph? There seemed to be a shit ton in 2011. I would think that technology is better now and storm chasers that can get close enough would be able to get an estimated wind speed.

I think eventually there will be one bad enough to consider retiring the scale for being inaccurate and too reliant on infrastructure

Could be insurance companies controlling the weather because tornadoes would mean they can't offer coverage

I don't know anon, I haven't thought about tornados for a decade, then all of a sudden randomly tornado shit has been flooding my youtube and twitter feed...I feel like something is about to happen.

I have little doubt in my mind that the El Reno tornado of 2013 would have been classified as EF5 if it hit a more populated area, but because the area it struck was very rural, it was only classified as EF3. It does seem like there haven't been as many really awful tornadoes since 2013, though. El Reno also happened in 2013. The early 2010s certainly had a lot of devastating and truly terrifying tornadoes. Hopefully EF5s will stay dead.

It might be difficult to reclassify past tornadoes since all the evidence is gone and there's no way for them to redo the measurements. But a lot of people have issues with the EF scale. It will probably be changed again in our lifetimes.

Tornadoslop is surprisingly popular on YouTube lmao

yeah, I've been listening to a few weather channels, and the guys on there are in agreement with that. The EF scale is far too reliant on damaged value vs raw power to determing tornado strength.

>>514678329
see one video, then all of a sudden it's all YouTube wants to show me.

I think there might be cycles to it, of high activity and low activity, the last super outbreak of EF5s was in 1974, so maybe in 30 years we'll see more EF5s again.

>>514677534
This, it's a completely retarded scale for gauging intensity. It should be scrapped, honestly.

There will be 3 ef5s in september and october

Don't jinx it OP.

hurricane season will be a complete dud this year

>>514677668
Last year in Iowa a storm chaser team with portable dopler radar measured a tornado with 318 mph winds. But since it wasn't official NWS equipment it didn't count. The weather service rated it as an EF4. There's drone footage of that beast. Multiple vortices rotating around the central funnel all moving at 60 mph. Look up Greenfield Tornado. It was fucking savage.

>>514677147 (OP)
the greensville iowa tornado last year was a very high end EF4 and the Mayfield KY townado...3? years ago was catastophic. Maybe theyre not as big as EF5's but they sure seem to be doing a lot of damage in the later/early halves of the year

>>514677147 (OP)
Nobody gives a fuck about tornados unless they destroy a town. I'm sure there's been stronger ones out in the middle of nowhere but nobody cares.
