No tropical system has ever produced an EF4 #tornado. Most tropical #tornadoes are EF0/EF1, but in 2024 #Beryl, #Debby and #Helene all produced EF3 #tornadoes. Charts via @ou_sams and @SkyPixWeather
The violent tornado in Fort Pierce-Vero Beach earlier had an extreme TDS Height of about 30,000ft. This easily places it in the intense-violent tornado intensity range. This tornado unfortunately went over heavily populated areas. #flwx
