Now up to 21 killed. I haven't seen any official ranking but I would be willing to say EF-3 or 4.

Death toll has now been raised to 22.

They say there probably will be more. I just posted that there were 21.

I was thinking probably EF-3 as well.

After looking at some of the pictures from Nashville I wouldn't be surprised if it was EF-4.

Looking through some coverage from overnight, it seems like it definitely cycled a bit during the track, so I wouldn't be surprised if there were some EF-4 damage mixed in.

Just saw on Twitter that the NWS-Nashville reported that some of the damage survey results show at least EF-3 damage in a couple of neighborhoods. They say this tornado followed the same track as one from 1998.

God be with all involved there and no longer there.

When did it go to "Enhanced" Fujita?

 

I always just recall tornadoes being called "F-1" or "F-4".

I guess the English language doesn't have a word to effectively describe an EF-5 tornado? "Incredible", really?

I had the same thought.

I'm not really sure what word could be used. True EF-5 damage is so rare, you know it when you see it, but it is hard to describe.

This is EF-5 damage from the Moore, OK tornado. What word would you use for this?

I would have picked "cataclysmic".
