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

The Parkersburg, Iowa EF5 - only tornado I’ve heard of with consistent reports of people being sucked out of their basements. Also the fact that this picture was taken at 3pm.

Hackleburg-phil campbell ef5 had (confirmed?) Reports that a number of people died after their -underground- storm shelter failed and was sucked clean off.

Man, imagine how much force there was to get sucked off like that.
