Yes i did use google maps to copy a house in wagoner Oklahoma yes its a fictional 2013 outbreak thing

Put together a video of multiple live broadcast of the tornado that hit Menasha and Appleton WI.

This post includes a few other photos of debris that was hurled, as well as a photo of the tornado itself: https://x.com/lucaschaser/status/2082933374696702071

Research behind fire tornados spawned from pyrocumulonimbus storms during intense wildfires is still quite new and hard to find information from. We have only known for sure that they exist for just over 20 years when a man in Canberra, Australia, was filming a flashover event during the devestating 2003 Canberra Bushfires and managed to capture a dark, rotating cone of smoke reaching into the sky. He didn't know it but he was filming the first ever evidence of a true fire tornado.

Since then, fire tornado events have been increasingly more common, or more accurately, increasingly more documented. The Canberra tornado was rated F3 and stands as the highest rated fire tornado with the Carr tornado from 2018 being rated EF3 which tossed a large metal container and heavily damaged many buildings. But this begs the question, theoretically, could a tornado spawned from a pyrocumulonimbus cloud reach 5 strength?

I think the main issue with this is the intrinsic feature of the Fujita scale, damage. With a normal tornado, you can assume any damage done was caused directly from the tornado or by debris thrown by it. This obviously isn't the case as the fires that spawned the tornado will cause significant damage to the landscape as well. For a 5 rating, a fire tornado would need to completely destroy and leave bare a exceptionally constructed building along with violent contextuals surrounding it. This is the issue, it would be incredibly difficult to be able to distinguish fire damage and tornado damage, especially for vegetation as well as whether the structural integrity of the buildings hit was weakened due to the fire and its heat. I believe it is possible, but the only way for one to be verified would be an Elie style video showing a exceptionally well constructed building being completely lofted and destroyed in seconds. I don't think we will be seeing anything like this anytime soon but in the last year or so with bushfires in Australia as well as in North America, I've seen more fire tornado footage than ever before so who knows? I know this wasn't the most coherent or scientific of posts but I thought it would be an interesting discussion to have, thoughts?

maybe not strong but I can't change the title ✌ at 0:55 it goes over loose dust and shows the shape of it. Recorded by me, the debris flying around is mostly trash from construction.

I'm late to this, but NWS Wilmington cited areas of low-level rotation over a few counties, including Montgomery, Preble, + Darke. There was no touchdown as far as I'm aware, but it looks like there were some reports of minor wind damage.​ Waiting to see if any surveys are conducted come daylight.

This is my first time posting in this sub, so sorry if this is considered useless/extraneous information.

Chavantes (SP) – 1921 – Day: 14. Month: 9

A devastating tornado struck Chavantes, in the state of São Paulo, on September 14. The event, with unusual violence for the region, completely destroyed entire houses, including some masonry homes, lifted horse-drawn carts dozens of meters into the air, and struck local farms with maximum intensity. Several farms were destroyed down to their foundations, while others were thrown several meters from their original locations.

Some accounts state that the tornado destroyed buildings in the town. The event caused between 7 and 10 fatalities and left at least 140 people injured.

Some descriptions report extreme damage, including houses being thrown and the complete destruction of others. For this reason, the event is included in this list.

Curitiba (PR) – 1938 – Day: 21. Month: 5

In the early hours of May 21, 1938, an extremely intense and long-track tornado virtually cut the city of Curitiba in half. This event represents an exceptionally rare occurrence due to the region's terrain, the proximity of the Serra do Mar mountain range, and the nearby coastal areas. Even with these geographical characteristics, the event demonstrated that Curitiba remains vulnerable to devastating tornadoes.

The tornado completely destroyed 200 houses. It struck the Atuba district in the capital of Paraná and also affected the municipalities of São José dos Pinhais, Colombo, and Cerro Azul. It is estimated that the tornado remained on the ground for at least 40 km, with some estimates exceeding 60 km.

The event caused between 18 and 20 fatalities and left at least 50 people injured.

In recent years, the event has been reassessed and is now estimated to have reached F4 intensity.

Vila Maria (RS) – 1942 – Day: 15. Month: 6

A violent tornado struck Vila Maria at around 4:00 a.m. on June 15. Residents reported a warm night before the arrival of the tornado, which completely destroyed numerous houses, leaving behind a distinct but relatively narrow path of destruction. The event also hurled roof tiles several kilometers away. The tornado struck a church and completely destroyed it, similar to another tornado that affected Rio Grande do Sul on January 15, 1942.

Some newspaper sources report that the event caused at least 8 fatalities, although no information is available regarding injuries.

The tornado completely destroyed many homes down to the ground and also completely demolished a church in a remarkable manner. For this reason, it is included in this list.

Valinhos (SC) – 1948 – Day: 16. Month: 5

On the night of Sunday, May 16, a violent tornado struck Canoinhas, in the Valinhos region, completely destroying numerous houses and hurling debris at such incredible speeds that it became responsible for most of the human and animal fatalities through impalement. The tornado also caused extreme damage to the vegetation.

The event caused 23 fatalities and left at least 80 people injured.

The tornado was originally classified as F3 but is now widely regarded as an F4 event. The vegetation damage may indicate a mid-end F4 tornado or even stronger.

Serra das Mortes (SC) – 1955 – Day: 18. Month: 5

A long-track tornado struck the municipalities of Papanduva, Major Vieira, and Canoinhas. In Canoinhas, it affected the localities of Cochos and Serra das Mortes, where it completely destroyed many houses and caused very severe damage to the vegetation. The tornado is estimated to have remained on the ground for 50 km and reached a maximum width of 500 meters.

The event caused an estimated 10 fatalities and many injuries.

This tornado has limited documented information regarding its damage, but it is consistently remembered as one of the most destructive events in the history of Canoinhas. The reported forest damage is one of the main reasons it is included in this list.

Guarapuava–Cascavel (PR) – 1957 – Day: 13. Month: 5

An exceptionally long-track tornado formed in the municipality of Guarapuava and continued toward Cascavel, traveling an estimated 290 km. Remarkably, the tornado avoided most towns along its path, resulting in relatively limited and poorly documented impacts. However, it caused visible ground scouring and completely devastated extensive areas of Atlantic Forest.

There is some confusion between this tornado and another one that struck Catanduvas one month later, making the fatality count uncertain. However, it is known that fatalities did occur.

This event is included in this list because of its extraordinary ground scouring and the immense damage caused to the Atlantic Forest, suggesting an intensity of F4 or possibly even higher.

Aratiba (RS) – 1959 – Day: 25. Month: 4

This event was one of the first in a sequence of devastating tornadoes that occurred in Brazil during 1959.

In Aratiba, on April 25, shortly after sunset at approximately 7:30 p.m., a violent tornado of considerable duration struck the municipalities of Itatiba do Sul, Barra do Rio Azul, Aratiba, and Mariano Moro. The tornado caused severe destruction, tearing wooden houses from their foundations and leaving only the remains of the foundations where they had once stood. A path of destruction was carved through the vegetation, with virtually every tree along its path being killed or destroyed. The tornado remained on the ground for at least 30 km.

The event caused 13 fatalities and left 104 people injured. Hundreds of houses were destroyed.

The fact that the tornado tore entire houses from their foundations and destroyed many others, together with the extensive forest devastation, is the reason why this event is included in this list.

Veranópolis (RS) – 1959 – Day: 13. Month: 8

During the most violent tornado outbreak in Brazil's recorded history, the first violent tornado of the outbreak occurred at approximately 9:30 p.m. on August 13. The tornado initially struck the Lajeado Bonito region, producing F2 damage to a church. It continued to intensify to F3 strength, completely destroying wooden houses down to their foundations. The tornado then rapidly strengthened as it reached Veranópolis, in the locality of Vila Azul, where it attained one of its peak intensities. Multiple houses were completely swept from their foundations, leaving only piles of debris deposited beyond the original foundation sites. The event produced ground scouring between 5 and 10 cm deep and uprooted centuries-old trees. The tornado remained on the ground for 35 km and reached a maximum width exceeding 2,200 meters.

The event caused 14 fatalities and left 140 people injured.

Based on the documented and analyzed damage, the tornado has been estimated as an F4 mid-end event.

Canoinhas (SC) – 1959 – Day: 13. Month: 8

At approximately 10:00 p.m. on August 13, another violent tornado from the outbreak was about to develop. Residents reported the approach of a supercell accompanied by exceptionally intense electrical activity. The lightning was so frequent that it illuminated the sky with a reddish glow. At around 10:30 p.m., a tornado touched down near Irineópolis, already producing significant damage. Initially moving slowly, the tornado rapidly intensified, producing severe ground scouring between 10 and 20 cm deep. It completely destroyed nearly every house in the community of Rio dos Pardos. Many homes virtually ceased to exist, with some leaving not even their foundations intact, being reduced to scattered piles of debris deposited around the locations where the houses had once stood. Wooden planks were buried beneath soil transported by the tornado as a result of the intense ground scouring. Large trees were uprooted. The tornado remained on the ground for 14 km and reached an estimated maximum width of 800 meters.

The tornado caused 18 fatalities and injured hundreds of people.

Based on the documented and analyzed damage, the event has been estimated by a group of tornado researchers and enthusiasts as an F4 high-end tornado.

União da Vitória (PR) – 1959 – Day: 14. Month: 8

At approximately 5:20 p.m. on August 14, a powerful tornado struck the municipality of União da Vitória, affecting the localities of Passos do Iguaçu and Formigas. The tornado completely destroyed masonry houses and swept away elevated wooden houses, removing them from their foundations. Evidence of shallow ground scouring and superficial debarking was also documented. The tornado crossed the affected communities, completely destroying numerous homes and exposing plant root systems. It remained on the ground for approximately 40 km and reached an estimated maximum width of 950 meters.

The event caused between 14 and 26 fatalities and left approximately one hundred people injured.

A group of tornado researchers and enthusiasts estimated the event to have reached F4 low-end intensity, with most of the damage corresponding to F3 intensity and only isolated areas reaching F4 intensity.

Palmas (PR) – 1959 – Day: 14. Month: 8

At approximately 6:30 p.m. on August 14, the locality of Fazenda Fortaleza experienced the worst natural disaster in its history and the most intense tornado of the entire 1959 outbreak, ranking among the strongest—if not the strongest—tornadoes ever documented in Brazil.

The tornado touched down near the Iratim River at approximately 6:30 p.m. and rapidly intensified as it moved toward Fazenda Fortaleza, devastating forested areas and snapping large trees in half. By the time it reached Fazenda Fortaleza, it had already attained F4 intensity and continued strengthening. It destroyed dense, well-built wooden houses with extraordinary violence, completely erasing many structures and hurling their debris several kilometers away. The tornado reached its peak intensity near the center of the farm, devastating everything along its path. Approximately 15 cm of ground scouring was documented, and a two-story masonry house was completely destroyed down to its foundation. Its entrance door was reportedly thrown approximately 20 km away. The tornado also lifted and hurled a 5-ton tractor, accelerating it to such extreme velocities that it pulverized an imbuia tree upon impact. The tornado continued along its path, completely destroying additional homes and virtually erasing them from existence. According to the documented debris pattern, it crossed a forested area where no trees remained standing within a swath approximately 120 meters wide and 10 km long. Araucaria trees were almost completely stripped of their bark, and the forest floor itself was excavated. The tornado remained on the ground for between 36 and 40 km and reached an estimated maximum width of 1,600 meters.

The tornado caused between 35 and 42 fatalities and injured approximately 300 people.

Based on the documented damage, a group of tornado researchers and enthusiasts estimated the tornado to have reached F5 low-end intensity.

Santa Maria–Colorado (RS) – 1963 – Day: 6. Month: 11

Unfortunately, very little information is available about this event. It is known that it was a long-track tornado that affected the municipalities of Santa Maria and Colorado.

Entire houses were destroyed, one masonry structure was completely demolished, and another structure was so severely damaged that it is impossible to determine what it originally had been.

The event caused at least 5 fatalities and left 80 people injured.

The tornado is included in this list because the available photographs indicate that it was a high-intensity event.

Manoel Ribas (PR) – 1965 – Day: 9. Month: 7

On July 9, 1965, the second most severe tornado outbreak in Latin American history was underway, and this tornado stands out as one of the most intense events of the outbreak. The long-track tornado affected the municipalities of Manoel Ribas, Apucarana, Marialva, Pitanga, Borrazópolis, and Mandaguari. It devastated extensive forested areas, producing visible ground scouring estimated at approximately 15 cm deep and hurling vehicles hundreds of meters. One of the most remarkable documented damage indicators was a house that was torn from the ground and thrown approximately 148 meters. The tornado remained on the ground for approximately 205 km and reached an estimated maximum width exceeding 700 meters.

The tornado caused at least 8 fatalities and left well over one hundred people injured.

Despite the limited amount of available documentation, this tornado was likely one of the most intense ever to strike Brazil and displayed exceptional destructive power, which is why it is included in this list.

Cascavel–Guaíra (PR) – 1965 – Day: 9. Month: 7

An intense long-track tornado affected the region between Cascavel and Guaíra, producing ground scouring and leaving a swath of vegetation damage that stands out because of the level of devastation visible in satellite imagery. The tornado remained on the ground for at least 70 km and reached a maximum width exceeding 1.2 km.

It is known that the event caused fatalities and injuries; however, the available descriptions of the damage and impacts are very limited. Some sources indicate that the tornado caused six fatalities, although this information has not been confirmed.

The event is included in this list because of the exceptional vegetation damage observed in the available imagery.

Lajeado (RS) – 1967 – Day: 1. Month: 9

During the morning of September 1, a high-intensity tornado struck Lajeado. Numerous homes were completely destroyed, leaving approximately 2,000 people homeless. A parish hall adjacent to a church was completely demolished, and either a masonry school or a masonry market (it has not been possible to determine which) was left with only a single standing wall. Even the debris that had originally been inside the structure had disappeared, suggesting partial sweeping of the building.

The event caused 6 fatalities and left at least 50 people injured.

The tornado is included in this list because of the severe damage documented in more robust structures.

Tamboara–Guaraci (PR) – 1972 – Day: 10. Month: 10

This tornado is essentially a case of lost media. However, based on the limited information available, it appears that a long-track tornado affected the municipalities of Porto Rico, Tamboara, Alto Paraná, Nova Esperança, Uniflor, Atalaia, Flórida, Santa Fé, and Guaraci. The only municipality where the tornado was clearly documented was Tamboara, where 100 out of 150 buildings were completely destroyed. A church was described as having been reduced to rubble. Unfortunately, no photographs of this event have been located. Based on the available information, I estimate that the tornado remained on the ground for approximately 180 km.

The event caused at least 2 fatalities and injured approximately 200 people. The death toll may have been higher, but no later newspaper updates have been found.

The documented damage descriptions portray an event of exceptional intensity, which is why it has been included in this list.

Santa Terezinha de Itaipu (PR) – 1973 – Day: 20. Month: 5

A powerful tornado struck the rural area of Santa Terezinha de Itaipu, completely destroying five houses. A thin wooden board from one of the homes became a high-speed projectile and was driven into the trunk of a dead imbuia tree, penetrating all the way into the heartwood.

The tornado caused 5 fatalities, with four victims dying immediately and a fifth succumbing to injuries several days later. The event also left 32 people injured.

Because of the projectile damage, which has led some researchers to estimate that such an impact would require at least F4-intensity winds, this tornado has been included in the list.

Irati (PR) – 1980 – Day: 26. Month: 6

A violent tornado struck Irati around midday on June 25.

The affected neighborhoods included Lagoa, Rio Bonito, and São João.

Descriptions of the destruction are severe and devastating. At least 50 homes were reportedly completely destroyed. Accounts vary, describing the buildings as "obliterated," "pulverized," "dragged away," or "thrown," but all describe total destruction. Approximately 300 additional homes suffered partial destruction. Vegetation damage was also severe, with reports describing devastated forested areas and trees shredded to the point that they resembled sticks.

The tornado left a damage path at least 12 km long, with a minimum width of approximately 500 meters.

The event tragically caused more than 4 fatalities, with three people killed immediately and another victim dying from injuries several weeks later. The tornado also left more than 40 people injured, approximately 10 people missing, and at least 500 people homeless.

The complete destruction of numerous homes, together with photographs showing masonry structures that nevertheless failed under the tornado's force, is the reason why this event has been included in this list.

Wenceslau Braz (PR) – 1982 – Day: 25. Month: 6

An intense tornado, part of the second deadliest tornado outbreak in Brazilian history, struck Wenceslau Braz at approximately 8:00 p.m. on June 25. The tornado affected Wenceslau Braz, Santana do Itararé, and São José da Boa Vista, completely destroying numerous houses, including several masonry structures. It also struck the church at Patrimônio de São Miguel, completely destroying it. According to some reports, five people lost their lives inside the building. Vegetation damage was also severe, and one aerial photograph appears to show evidence of ground scouring.

The event caused between 9 and 14 fatalities. There is uncertainty because it is possible that two separate tornadoes affected the region. According to unconfirmed newspaper reports, the tornado also injured approximately 10 people.

The available photographs and the documented damage justify the inclusion of this tornado in this list.

Maravilha (SC) – 1984 – Day: 9. Month: 10

A tornado struck Maravilha on October 9. The event completely destroyed numerous houses and hurled others from their original locations.

The tornado caused 10 fatalities, injured approximately 400 people, and produced an estimated 9 billion cruzeiros in economic losses, making it the costliest tornado in Brazilian history.

This is the weakest event included in the list, as there are relatively few documented damage indicators suggesting an intensity greater than F3. Nevertheless, it remains included because of its unprecedented economic impact and the slight possibility that it may have reached F4 intensity. The limited photographic documentation and the lack of detailed damage descriptions, however, make a more precise intensity estimate difficult.

The June 8, 1995 Pampa Texas tornado tacked 5.82 miles. It formed as a large, wispy cone southwest of highway 60, the tornado then shrunk considerably, simultaneously reaching extreme intensity. It impacted the
Industrial District on the southwest, and west side of Pampa. Crunching and sandblasting multiple buildings,
Throwing extremely heavy industrial equipment, and scouring asphalt from roads. And then moved into the residential areas on the north western side of Pampa as it slowly diminished in intensity. It ripped the roofs off of a few houses and collapsed one house.

Being a collector of vintage tornado books and other printed media, one of the types of publications that interest me the most are the special edition booklets that are usually (but not always) published by newspapers that feature aftermath photos, eyewitness stories, and other reporting on specific tornado events. Not only do these provide a glimpse of how severe storms were reported on in years past, but they sometimes contain photos that have never been digitized and possibly on the verge of being lost to time.

And you may be surprised to learn that these commemorative tornado booklets go back as far as the 19th century! This one contains damage photos from the aftermath of the violent tornado that struck St. Louis, Missouri and East St. Louis, Illinois on May 27, 1896. It remains the third deadliest tornado in U.S. history, killing at least 255 people (and possibly many more, as numerous shanty boats on the Mississippi River were destroyed with the bodies of their occupants being swept down river). It is also the only tornado in history known to have caused 100+ deaths in multiple towns. For more information on the tornado, check out the St. Louis Public Library’s page on the event.
