Published 2022-04-11
This is a speed paint if the legendary and extremely powerful El Reno tornado, it’s debated if it was an EF3 or an EF5 due to it only (or mostly) going over rural area, but it’s power and size was intense. It is the current record for the largest tornado to ever happen on earth, at 2.6 miles wide, it beat the old record holder, the Hallam EF4 (2.5 miles wide at max) with an unpredictable path, the tornado was an extremely rare event, behaving in unprecedented ways never seen before in such a large tornado
It also unfortunately had the highest number of storm chaser deaths (3-4 from memory)
This event occurred on 5/31/2013 (31st of may 2013)
This is also the tornado my leopard gecko is named after, Reno
