Huge tornado shreds homes and buildings in northern China |

The deadliest tornado in history actually happened in Bangladesh in the late 1980s. From the damage, it looked to be an EF5 and wound up killing around 1000 officially but eyewitnesses said that was severely underestimating it.

[@xaviersavedra711]

A tornado doesn't need to be a wedge in order to be very destructive, as seen in Manitoba. I think Manitoba had an F5 that lifted a house and it was not a wedge tornado.

[@waynemasters]

Correct... Elie, Man. In June 2007. That was a monster storm. We have a tornado alley here in Ontario, I think we've had an F-4 or two, but no F-5's that I know of.

[@alexcarter2461]

​@waynemasters No EF5s in Ontario, and the last time Ontario saw an EF4 was 1985. Unless of course they happen in a sparsely populated area where there is no one to report it or witness it.

[@waynemasters]

@@alexcarter2461 Correct. Wasn't that up in Barrie?

[@alexcarter2461]

@@waynemasters yep. Our last ef4.

[@waynemasters]

​@@alexcarter2461 May 31, 85 was a destructive day all around the lakes, eh? OH, Ont., PA & NY got pummeled with severe weather, lots of tornadic storms. If memory serves, OH & PA (Niles & Wheatland) had the furthest East F5 that day... I was only 12, but I do remember it well.

[@Zoomer30_]

Small tornadoes can still do EF5 damage. One type is the "drillbit" tornado. As the name implies, it's a very narrow funnel but with ferocious vertical motion and wind speed. It's how one house can be leveled while a next door house may be untouched. Houses have also been severely damagedrby dying tornadoesr, as they "rope out" and get very narrow, conservation of angular momentum causes the wind speed to increase dramatically.

[@imalwaysjusticew4679]

By small tornadoes you're thinking of rope tornadoes this one is nothing compare to Oklahoma Nebraska Kansas and Alabama Tornadoes hell add Florida too.

[@geoffoakland]

I would like to see some studies, if they exist on the correlation between tornado funnel diameter and wind speed. Clearly a majority of strong tornadoes are large in diameter, but not all. So what dynamics are in play when you have an intense small diameter tornado, like in Minnesota 2020

[@twixen835]

It’s weird how unrealistic some tornadoes can look. They just look like those slightly realistic looking fake tornado videos.

[@Timber_Wood.]

Exactly.

[@users4007]

To me it looks realistic and is real, fake tornado videos could never simulate the base of a tornado well beside the physics simulations based on actual data run by researchers

One of the reasons that tornado deaths may be increasing, is that people keep getting as close as they can to get video footage of tornadoes, and putting their lives at risk. I just don't understand why so many people keep putting themselves in harms way.

The only problem is that the Chinese government is notorious for not being deterred by the facts. Hopefully this thing didnt take out anyone.

[@shawnalexander4928]

This one is actually small compared to other videos. However, its still large enough to cause damage

[@garretts.2003]

Size does not determine a tornado's strength. If you look velocities and the violent motion, you can tell that this is a very powerful tornado.

[@razrv3lc]

Wind speed is what determines damage, not size. There have been very small tornadoes that ultimately got EF5 ratings like the Manitoba Canada tornado.

I thought it looked a little small too but really vicious. If that video isn't sped up than the wind speeds in it must be incredibly high. I wouldnt want to be in it's way or any others. I also imagine it came very suddenly.

[@sportsdude2damax]

​​@@AngryOtter614...I would like to see that report. The vicious and tumultuous tornados I have seen in Tornado Alley and in Joplin, Missouri were up to a mile wide and more. An EF-4 has winds from 166-200MPR and there wouldn't be any anything standing in that short clip. I lived in Tornado Alley for 23 years and helped in Joplin. St. John's Medical Center moved 4 inches off its foundation and the Reno, Oklahoma tornado of May 31, 2013 was 2.6 miles wide! That is not a clip of the Jiangsu tornado, that one was an EF-4 tornado.

[@Chris-un4ns]

Tornadoes pick up dirt, tree limbs, leaves, and debris from human-made items as they spin through an area. These items are spun into balls called debris balls, which the wind can throw into buildings and cars, causing further damage.

Tornadoes still have stronger windspeeds and are more deadly. Obviously being able to see it coming for a week is a big reason they're not as deadly.

[@trendmassacre8423]

Drill bit tornadoes can be extremely violent due to the fast updraft it brings with it.

[@warpdriveby]

I'm pretty surprised by the lack of tornado footage from outside North America. I don't mean there's not any, that's certainly false, but I thought that once cameras were this ubiquitous we'd see one to several in most countries every year, even a hundred in some if only hundreds or thousands in the US. I'm sorry for these people, though I am glad they don't get several coming through one after the other. That happens in the SE and my family in Tennessee was just taking cover the other day from a series of nasty storms, and the flooding they cause.
