They are still not releasing death toll on local TV as of noon today.

Looking at the drone footage it doesn't look like it was extremely wide and spared a much bigger disaster than if it was a 1/4 mile wide

Ain't no way that's EF3 only. It's pretty clear EF 4 seems likely the final classification

I get why it is the way it is but if a EF5 does not hit a structure that is strong enough to warrant a EF5 rating then it can never be a EF5 even though it is is kind of dumb if you have other solid data that shows that it is most likely EF5.

It would be like seeing a strong hurricane and only classifying it a cat 1 because recon can't reach it.

Agree 100%. It’s definitely a problem with the system and I’m not sure what the fix is to keep it all fair.

I saw this as well which I thought was interesting
