You can tell an F5, even the grass gets sucked up. Learned that a the ‘97 Jerrell Tx tornado....
One of the many things my grandfather said about the F5 Tri-State Tornado was that blades of grass and pieces of straw were driven deep into tree trunks like nails. I’ve got dozens of old photos of the devastation from the communities in Southern Illinois. If I told someone they were pictures of Hiroshima or Nagasaki they would believe me.

Grass gets scoured in F-3 F-4 tornadoes. F-5’s scour asphalt and concrete. The Jarrell tornado did that. People in basements without concrete roofs were killed in Jerrell
Yep.... only at math challenged MSNBC would an EF4 be > than an EF5. Pukes will do anything for ratings.
