Any thoughts on rating for Adairsville? I would say EF3.

Any thoughts on rating for Adairsville? I would say EF3.

Agree on that classification as the video and pics posted at 2013 Severe Weather (Videos-Photos-Stats-Forecasts) thread show the evidence of damage and the size of it.

AREAS AFFECTED...COASTAL PORTIONS OF SC/SOUTHEAST GA

CONCERNING...SEVERE POTENTIAL...WATCH LIKELY

VALID 310144Z - 310245Z

PROBABILITY OF WATCH ISSUANCE...95 PERCENT

SUMMARY...AS SQUALL LINE APPROACHES THE REGION...A WATCH MAY BE
NEEDED SOON FOR PORTIONS OF COASTAL SC/SOUTHEAST GA...WITH CONTINUED
POTENTIAL FOR DAMAGING WINDS/PERHAPS A TORNADO.

DISCUSSION...WELL-ORGANIZED SQUALL LINE WITH SMALL EMBEDDED BOWING
SEGMENTS CONTINUES TO STEADILY PROGRESS EAST-NORTHEASTWARD ACROSS
PIEDMONT OF SC/SOUTHEAST GA AS OF 0140Z. WHILE OVERALL BUOYANCY
APPEARS TO BE QUITE MINIMAL /REFERENCE 00Z CHS OBSERVED SOUNDING/
WITH A TREND OF DIMINISHING CLOUD-GROUND LIGHTNING...SURFACE
TEMPERATURES REMAIN RELATIVELY MILD AHEAD OF THE QLCS AND THE
EXISTING INTEGRITY OF THE SQUALL LINE WITHING A HIGHLY SHEARED
ENVIRONMENT WILL MAINTAIN A CONCERN FOR DAMAGING WINDS/PERHAPS A

CONCERNING...SEVERE POTENTIAL...WATCH UNLIKELY

VALID 310206Z - 310300Z

PROBABILITY OF WATCH ISSUANCE...20 PERCENT

SUMMARY...AN ISOLATED WIND GUST MAY ACCOMPANY CONVECTION TONIGHT.
HOWEVER...SEVERE POTENTIAL WILL REMAIN LIMITED AND A WATCH IS NOT
EXPECTED.

DISCUSSION...CONVECTION APPROACHING THE CHESAPEAKE BAY AREA HAS
SHOWN SIGNS OF WEAKENING RECENTLY. AS THIS BROKEN LINE OF CONVECTION
CONTINUES TO TRACK E/NE...AN ISOLATED STRONG WIND GUST CAN NOT BE
RULED OUT GIVEN THE MAGNITUDE OF DEEP LAYER FLOW /75+ KT 0-6KM
SHEAR/. HOWEVER...MORE WIDESPREAD SEVERE WEATHER IS NOT EXPECTED.
WHILE THE AIRMASS ACROSS SE PA/SRN NJ INTO DE HAS STARTED TO RECOVER
SOME FROM EARLY SHOWERS/STORMS...FORCING FOR ASCENT WILL BECOME
INCREASINGLY WEAKER FURTHER REMOVED FROM UPPER TROUGH.
ADDITIONALLY...00Z WAL RAOB SHOWED POORER LAPSE RATES COMPARED TO
THOSE AT IAD. THESE FACTORS WILL COMBINE TO LIMIT SEVERE POTENTIAL
LATE THIS EVENING. HENCE...A WW IS NOT EXPECTED AT THIS TIME

SOUTHEASTERN GEORGIA

AREAS.

THE TORNADO WATCH AREA IS APPROXIMATELY ALONG AND 55 STATUTE

AREA. PERSONS IN THESE AREAS SHOULD BE ON THE LOOKOUT FOR
THREATENING WEATHER CONDITIONS AND LISTEN FOR LATER STATEMENTS
AND POSSIBLE WARNINGS.

OTHER WATCH INFORMATION...CONTINUE...WW 23...WW 24...WW 25...

DISCUSSION...EXISTING SSW/NNE SQLN WILL CONTINUE ENE INTO MOIST BUT
GRADUALLY STABILIZING LOW-LVL ENVIRONMENT...SUPPORTED IN PART BY
ASCENT ASSOCIATED WITH SRN FRINGE OF EJECTING TN VLY UPR TROUGH.
STRENGTH OF WIND FIELD AND LIKELIHOOD FOR ONLY SLOW WEAKENING OF
EXISTING CONVECTION SUGGESTS A CONTINUED RISK FOR LOCALLY DMGG WIND
AND POSSIBLY A TORNADO FROM THE LWR SAVANNAH RVR VLY OF GA/SC E/NE
ACROSS THE SC CSTL PLN.

AVIATION...TORNADOES AND A FEW SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS WITH HAIL

Any thoughts on rating for Adairsville? I would say EF3.

It looks like Ef2 to me, lots of roof damage but in all of the photos I've seen second stories were mostly intact on stronger structures. Large span structures were damaged as expected and of course mobile homes. I wouldn't be too shocked if it was high end ef2. A lot of it looks like the damage we had in Dallas/Lancaster on April 3rd. It would depend on the construction material/method used.

Either way the US ended its record streak of no fatalities from tornadoes sadly.

Preliminary data indicates it was a high end EP-3 tornado. See more photos from Adairsville here.

^ Those images do look much more damaging than the ones I saw on tv. That water tank damage is certainly impressive. Good call Crazyc83! Very sad for those folks
