9. Boscobel, WI EF3 (8/7) — 88.85 knots
10. Hobson, KY EF3 (12/11) — 85.45 knots
I'd just like to point out that for several of these events (notably Mayfield, Monette, Farmington, and Boscobel), issues with dealiasing may have yielded a higher-than-expected Vrot.

Some interesting points:
- Four of the Top 10 are from 12/10-12/11, two are from 10/24, two are from 3/13, and the extra two are 3/25 & 8/7
- As noted in a quote-tweet by
@Jacob_Feuer
, none of the Top 10 are from the "most active" months of tornadic activity (April, May, & June)

Here's #'s 11-20 (Note that much like some of the Top 10, values here may be impacted by distance from radar, dealiasing issues, etc):

The Washburn TX one is 1 of if not the most favorite tornado of all time for me personally.

How does the 133.35KT VROT with the Mayfield tornado compare against some of the strongest historical tornadoes?
