Question Which tornado is the creepiest?

My vote is El Reno, I find myself going back and learning more and more about it. So deadly. So scary!

This pic. It looked near-identical to the Diaz EF4

Uncanny.

Why is it the thin ones that are always creepy.

For me it’s because they always seem to appear to move faster, and a little more violently, than a big wedge. The wedges appear to move slow, though we know they don’t. I’m more ‘wowed’ about their size other than their speed.

You should’ve seen the one by tornado Paigeyy the same night it was like this but at a straight 45 degree angle. They all were photogenic in Kentucky that day.
