@Healey_Photo Oklahoma here. No interest in 4 or 5s. Ever.

@Healey_Photo You should not want an EF5. People die in EF4s(A lot of people mind you) and an EF5 is a step above that. No one survived above ground.

@Healey_Photo They'll wish they never saw one once the big one does happen.

@Healey_Photo Go off Connor

@Healey_Photo Sadly there are likely a lot more folks who think this way… not so much the death, but the devastation and testimonial videos…

@Healey_Photo oh Connor with the fax

@Healey_Photo I agree with your point but what you said about EF-5s meaning people are dead without exception isn’t right, studies have shown that even in EF-4+ damage swaths, tornado survival rates are over 95%

@Healey_Photo I don’t want to see this again

@Healey_Photo I laugh at tornadoes the same way I do hurricanes, stay vigilant and they wouldn’t need ratings

@Healey_Photo Interesting to think our own improved infrastructure, prediction, early warning communication, and greater safe space access could bump us out of meeting criteria for EF-5s almost entirely. How cool is that?!

@Healey_Photo I’ve always thought there should be the EF scale, a damage scale; and a weak-strong-violent scale that takes into consideration radar, video, and damage. I know it would make records confusing but it would actually be more useful meteorologically imo.

@Healey_Photo Need a tornado size rating and then a damage rating with it. Better understanding of the situation vs just saying this 2 mile tornado tore up a cornfield with 300mph winds but is a EF 1

@Healey_Photo People only want EF-5 because of the rarity. It's just hype based because of how far and few between there are. It's like trying to get a pair of exclusive shoes that only drop once every 5 to 10 years. I don't think people factor in how truly life changing a EF-5 tornado is.

@Healey_Photo those are just trolls wanting attention. Sad people

@Healey_Photo I think this indicates a disconnect between the rating system (based on damage to human built structures) and the concept of a violent tornado simply existing. Is there another way to say “I want to see an EF-5” that doesn’t automatically include death and destruction?

@Healey_Photo That might be the smartest statement I’ve ever seen on here. Can I use that on sone of these shock jocks?

@Healey_Photo F5 / EF5 is something that will haunt you forever. Best case scenario would be one over open field that luckily gets rated as such due to ground scouring. Be careful what you wish for. 🌪
