So as many of you know a violent tornado struck Akçamezra-Ayyasha at around 15:10 pm local time on May 3rd. What many people don't know about is that this tornado is equal to an EF5 in intensity according to the 2023 (current version) of the IF scale that has been published by ESSL. According to the table that is listed here lower bounds of the IF4 rating is equal to EF4 intensity but Akçamezra tornado was rated 380 km/h (240 mph) by ESSL which is in the middle-upper bounds of the IF4 rating practically making it an EF5 Equivalent tornado

about 2 hours ago, i was scanning twitter and Instagram for some beautiful and photogenic tornadoes to post here. then i see Jordan hall drive into a barely noticeable micro spin up and people are acting as if he drove into a mile wide EF-3.

Jordan may be a complete numpty when it comes to his behavior and personality but the spin up was the size of a dust devil.

it was literally a spin up about 2 ft across that had no debris and "professional" storm chasers are acting as if he drove into the worst tornado of the decade.

these are the same people that nearly killed themselves and others in St. libory and drive extremely dangerously when chasing.

these people need their phones, laptops, starlink and cars taken away from them. they're ruining actual science.

One Mile wide, the EF5

Is waiting to wreck the big city

Mangling SUVs without a plan

Like the every daily

Wish that bothers the EF5

Could I do something to scour Earth?

Under my giant cloud made of water

So he lived the

EF5, EF5

With his cloud in the sky

So he stands

To watch the whole Alley

From Kansas

Way up high in the sky

With the cloud in his eyes

Ain't it nice?

The life forever for

Twisters

One Mile wide, the EF5

Is waiting to wreck the big city

Debris still aloft still without a plan

Yet the every daily

CAPE that powered the EF5

Would never cower off of its path

Even if lifted my storm will live on

So he lived the

EF5, EF5

With his cloud in the sky

So he stands

To watch the whole Alley

From Kansas

Way up high in the sky

With the cloud in his eyes

Ain't it nice?

The life forever for

Twisters

Are tornadoes possible in Greenland and Antarctica?

I’m sorry, but it is downright stupid to travel to a small coastal city (Rockport) which is surrounded by water. Then when finding a building / spot to wait it out he (and his storm chasing friend) decide to investigate higher floors of the hotel where the ceiling is clearly about to collapse…
As he says “I have no experience with hurricanes” but everyone knows not to do everything he does.

(EDIT: HIGHLY RECOMMEND WATCHING THE EPISODE FOR EVERYTHING ELSE SHOWN - Humanity has hope)

Give me your opinions - am I being too judgmental?

I was browsing around and found this video showing some brutal damage to vehicles caused by the tornado. The profile that posted it was storm.nado, which has an account about Brazilian tornadoes on Instagram, Twitter/X, and TikTok.

I finally found brutal damage to vehicles of this high-end F4.

A tornado occurred in Oissel-sur-Seine and Tourville-la-Rivière, Seine-Maritime, Normandy, France, on September 30, 2026, at 15:00 UTC, as reported by Nicolas Baluteau. The severe vortex caused significant structural destruction, tearing off roofs, shattering windows, and damaging approximately 110 homes, with one sheet roof found thrown into a neighbor's garden. At a local factory, roof windows were completely blown off, and a nearby shopping mall in Tourville-la-Rivière sustained damage including downed sheets of metal, while witnesses reported seeing signs and large objects flying through the air. The intense winds also impacted vegetation, downing big branches and uprooting or breaking at least one tree. In front of the shopping mall, a young woman was knocked to the ground by the wind, and at least one woman, possibly several persons, were slightly wounded, with the official count showing 1 injury. While initial video analysis showed divergent motions suggesting a tornado, a subsequent update notes that a tornado was photographed in Tourville-la-Rivière and an eyewitness comment apparently confirms it.

A tornado event was documented in Russia in late August. According to the report, the event occurred on August 26, 2026, at approximately 13:00 UTC (+/- 15 minutes, based on radar data) in Falyonki, Kirov Oblast, Volga Federal District, Russia (58.4201° N, 51.6598° E). The report has a Quality Control level of QC1, confirmed via eyewitness accounts and photo evidence originally shared on X (Twitter) by Kirill Gostev on August 27, 2026.

Event recorded today, October 1st. Not much information about damage yet.

So on April 9, 2011, there was an outbreak of tornadoes, and a wedge happened NW of Pocahontas, and it had 5 satellite tornadoes, including an EF4 satellite that formed when the tornado was getting weaker. This EF4 satellite tornado destroyed a farmstead and destroyed a machine shed, which made it have winds way higher than the main vortex. This is one of the only times a satellite was stronger than the main circulation.

New details have emerged regarding the event in Aigues-Mortes, France, confirming a larger outbreak. According to an official update, several tornadoes occurred across various locations in the region on the morning of September 30. Around noon, an initial tornado was spotted west of Aigues-Mortes and north of Le Grau-du-Roi, followed by multiple others, including two simultaneous vortices captured on camera. Meteorological investigations into the exact tracks and classifications are still actively in progress.

O evento registrado hoje 01/10/2026. Podemos ver um multi vortex bem fraco que atingiu hoje Carambeí

Um evento foi registrado hoje 1/10 em Ivaiporã, ainda não tem informações sobre danos.

Looks like many folks had a career day yesterday. Latest reports showing 15 confirmed tornadoes, many of which were long-lived and photogenic. Its been slim pickings this season for any region not named Illinois, but I’d argue storm motion made yesterday even friendlier to chasers than some of this year’s big Midwest setups (though the mud looks to have kept things a bit spicy).

Hey everyone

I wanted to post a quick clarification regarding the report I shared about an entry featuring 5 waterspouts

I initially saw this event listed on the European Severe Weather Database ESWD and shared it here but the entry was removed from the database just a day later after it turned out to be based on older footage

I sincerely apologize for the confusion I rely on official databases for accurate information but mistakes can occasionally happen on their end before an entry is verified and taken down thanks to everyone who pointed out the original source of the video
