210 mph winds? You have to be kidding me. Forgive me for the edit, but the new EF scale is a joke. This monster scoured concrete from the earth. The statement that this tornado had winds that slow is a scientific fallacy. 210 mph winds cannot create that damage. The Hackleburg tornado was a F5 monster with winds nearing 300 mph. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.183.184.187 (talk) 13:05, 3 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Unfortunately, we cannot include something based just on your personal opinion due to WP:OR. Unless you have a reliable source stating that winds were estimated near 300 mph, we cannot have it in the article. TornadoLGS (talk) 14:35, 3 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Was it one long tracked or two separate ones?

Clearly there was evidence of this tornado not tracking into Tennessee and it dissipating in Alabama while another EF3 tracked into Tennessee by the same supercell thunderstorm. I think it’s safe for this tornado to be 103 miles long tracked and the other EF3 tornado being 29 miles long tracked. And that’s a fact because again the survey damage team and with radar evidence showed the supercell recycling Colin777724 (talk) 17:30, 22 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Usually, the official source is considered definitive, but we could perhaps mention it if the source is sufficiently reliable. The case is kinda similar to the Fargo tornado, though I haven't heard of it happening with a modern tornado. TornadoLGS (talk) 22:03, 22 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I’m well aware of this. However, can’t do anything here until/unless the NWS acknowledges it. United States Man (talk) 13:01, 24 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Someone is twisting information on this page...

Some incognito editor has butchered the page, downplaying the tornado's rating and refusing to acknowledge the Enhanced Fujita Scale. A fix is required. Aquario (talk) 13:38, 3 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
