YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

A powerful tornado struck Enderlin, North Dakota, on June 20, causing significant damage and leading to a rare EF5 classification after new research.

Cutting-edge research from the Canadian Severe Storms Laboratory and the Northern Tornado Project played a crucial role in the tornado's EF5 classification. The tornado derailed 33 train cars, including several that were full, weighing more than a quarter of a million pounds. The fully loaded cars were derailed, tipped and moved, but one of the empty tankers was thrown several hundred feet.

With this new research being accepted by scientific entities like the National Weather Service, it's possible that other strong tornadoes since 2013, like the Greenfield, Iowa, tornado from 2024 just to name one, could also be upgraded sometime in the future.
