The last “official” EF5 tornado .. although there is great great debate among weather geeks that the scale is flawed and is so picky that it’s almost impossible to get an F5 and instead we have “upper end EF4’s”
Many of the “upper end EF4’s” would have been F5’s in the past
The now 11 year gap between F5’s is the longest gap in recorded history which gives more credence to those that argue the scale is flawed

i have to agree with their ranking system being somewhat flawed...nobody will convince me that the tornado that hit Mayfield, Kentucky in Dec, 2021 was not an EF-5. I mean cmon, some of the debris was “granulated”, couldnt even tell what it once was. They always gotta mess around with things. They went back and started “redefining” some Hurricanes from 50 years ago...saying that Hurricane Camille really wasn’t as strong as once thought. Gonna sit in an office building 50 years later and “recalculate” a storm from years ago, instead of what was actually recorded. Those pictures from the Mississippi Coast dont lie.
