2:Philadelphia EF5 2011 (still under study)

the damage on trees continues past where it ends , likely meaning it was much worse then it seems.

3:Bakersfield Valley F4 1990 (still under study)

it is to note the 3 tones at 400 yards was one of the reasons joplin got rated EF5.

4:Jarrell F5 1997 (still under study:might be upgraded)

5:Phil campbell EF5 2011

6:El reno EF5 2011
