Here's something to keep you up at night. If you were to compare the new scale to the old...Where today's EF-5 starts would just be an F3 on the old scale. But to the point, an EF-5 starts at 200mph. At those winds the only thing above ground that survives are safe rooms and similar. During the 2011 outbreak the Neshoba EF-5 dug a trench in the ground 2' deep. You well described an EF-4 as God having a weedeater. With a 5 He has has road grader. I've told my wife that while I'm out chasing if I think I see one like that approaching our house I'm going to text her the same of a city. She is to immediately drop everything, load the kids and dog up, and head that direction as it's an evac order because I know they won't survive a direct hit anywhere in the house.
