Camp Crook did something similar to a tractor, and it tracked through desolate rural areas with hardly any debris either.That’s easily the most extreme vehicle damage I’ve ever seen from a tornado by a long shot, good lord. This thing also tracked in basically the middle of no where in very rural areas, meaning debris had little effect and that was just the raw power of the tornado shredding those vehicles like that. Can’t imagine what it would’ve done had it tracked through a populated city.
I thought the tornado may have thrown the tractor from the farm in Camp Crook, SD BACKWARDS into Montana.Camp Crook did something similar to a tractor, and it tracked through desolate rural areas with hardly any debris either.
If something like this tracked through a populated city it would likely only have time to throw vehicles against buildings, remote rural areas with little structures tend to allow for the incredible phenomena like this.
Either way, crazy.I thought the tornado may have thrown the tractor from the farm in Camp Crook, SD BACKWARDS into Montana.
Tje Chapman 2016 tornado tore some vehicles and farm equipment to shreds and as you probably remember was how the railroad tracks were ripped up and the bar bent.Either way, crazy.
Not like this though.Tje Chapman 2016 tornado tore some vehicles and farm equipment to shreds and as you probably remember was how the railroad tracks were ripped up and the bar bent.
There aren't very many things from other exceptionally violent tornadoes that can top the Jarrell 1997 tornado damage.Not like this though.
Come to think Jarrell still holds the most violent vehicle damage contender, as it literally disintegrated vehicles into grain-sized pieces and ground up the remains with mud and dirt. Even Stratton didn't do that.
If that happened, then Camp Crook would've been the strongest tornado in MT.Camp Crook did something similar to a tractor, and it tracked through desolate rural areas with hardly any debris either.

I think he's getting at if it tracked through a highly populated area, it would likely have done even more crazy feats of damage.What do you mean “if” it happened? It’s well documented that it definitely did.
The Trenton/Stratton and Bakersfield, TX tornadoes were definitely stronger than any of the official F5 tornadoes that year. Honestly, I would have rated Hesston and Goessel as F4.That’s easily the most extreme vehicle damage I’ve ever seen from a tornado by a long shot, good lord.

I don't have any doubt that Camp Crook was EF5 strength, and possibly one of the strongest tornadoes ever recorded. And I don't see any reason why damage to vehicles and vegetation shouldn't be official DIs.What do you mean “if” it happened? It’s well documented that it definitely did.
Bakersfield was no doubt a high-end F5, it likely would've received that rating had it tracked through a major populated area.The Trenton/Stratton and Bakersfield, TX tornadoes were definitely stronger than any of the official F5 tornadoes that year.

Any photos of that? That sounds interesting.Regarding Hesston and Goessel, a user on here was indeed able to dig up proof that both of these tornadoes slabbed anchor-bolted homes and produced some pretty intense contextual damage. With that said, I do agree that Stratton and Bakersfield Valley were even more violent than those two.
The Hesston Public Library has a huge photo collection: https://hesston.digitalsckls.info/collections/show/1Any photos of that? That sounds interesting.
Thanks, I am diligently awaiting your New Richmond article! I was wondering also, have you read this book by James T. Carrier on the Tri-state tornado as it struck Peabody Mine #18 which according to the damage report was constructed out of steel and reinforced concrete structures and was levelled. I think this is the most compelling instance of EF-5 damage produced by the storm. I have a few low res images of the area and was wondering if you had more?The Hesston Public Library has a huge photo collection: https://hesston.digitalsckls.info/collections/show/1
I've also got a bunch of stuff from Hesston-Goessel that I was saving for a potential future article, but I dunno if I'll ever get to it. Maybe I'll post some later. Neither tornado was particularly crazy by F5 standards, but the ratings are definitely warranted.
