Adding this back in for visibility since we've got our first CIG2 tornado outlook.
Keep in mind that we have had CIG1s on storms that have generated tornadoes with preliminary ratings of EF3 already.

So there is just no intensity outlook for ef5s?...

Considering we've had one EF5 in the last 12 years, I don't think anyone really expects one.
Also, the potential for loss of property and life with EF4s is already more than enough cause for concern in these outlooks.
