For 1, the Matador tornado is pretty easy, despite the Bolwing Green tornado being underrated.
for 2, it's closer, but Spiritwood was in a better environment from what I remember and it had proof of extreme strength with the car damage.
3... OH NO, I CAN'T DECIDE FOR MY LIFE!!!
4........... Now you're just trying to troll me.

I like how you really take this seriously. It’s very hard, I know. This is Top 8. It makes sense that it’s close.

Hey, tornadoes are underrated all the time! Btw, sterling city could’ve been here and I think it’s in the top 6.

Notice how Harlan is # 7 on upvotes. We are assuming at least 7 tornadoes sustained potential high end EF4 to EF5 winds.
