This is one of five EF5 tornadoes i have chased. This #tornado happened during the Super Outbreak of 2011 and dug a trench in the ground, two-feet deep, near Philadelphia, Mississippi. Note the smooth, compact laminar structure of the supercell and tornado #stormchasing #EF5 | Reed Timmer Extreme Meteorologist

Next week will mark eight years since the double tornadoes hit the rural community of Pilger that took 2 lives and injured many others. The twin EF4 tornadoes scoured a path through the town on June 16, 2014 and might have been enough to make some people quit, but not the students of Wisner-Pilger High School. Before there was a thought to ask, these good-hearted kids were volunteering to help their town and each other. A silver lining if ever there was. #Nebraska #tornado #weather #Pilger | Neb
