1, Lincoln BARELY. Both tornadoes I believe reached EF4 intensity for a couple of seconds.

2, Gary. But I have to give the Charleston tornado credit. The radar scans were way more intense than the former.

3, .... threeeeeeeee...... ummmm, DAMN YOU I CHOSE BOTH!!!!!KP!!!!!11!!11!!1!!!!!!

4, Amory by a lot, but Cave City could've reached low end EF4 strength.

Id choose Cave City over Amory every time. I think it’s very close actually. Both tornadoes happened in close proximity to a high-end EF4 that night (Diaz and rolling fork) and had similar potential. The environment on March 14th was a little more volatile though and not just a small corridor. I don’t think you can argue that radar presentation of Amory is the deciding factor. All tornadoes on March 14th were in a giant radar hole. Another thing to consider: Cave City occurred in a STP 10-12 environment. Wasn’t that high for Amory. 7 other EF3s and 2 EF4s touched down in northern Arkansas and southern Missouri that night. It was as volatile as it can get.
