F5 tornadoes

1998	28 yrs ago
Wayne County, Tennessee	2023 fatalities
1998 Nashville tornado outbreak – Originally considered part of a very long-tracked F5 tornado but was later determined to have been the first in a series of three separate, violent tornadoes. Multiple homes were reduced to their foundations. Although officially rated an F4, a re-analysis conducted in 2013 by the NWS Office in Nashville noted that the damage in Wayne County may warrant EF5, however, no tornadoes are rated using the enhanced scale that occurred prior to February 2007.
Officially ranked below F5/EF5, but rating is disputed; event may have been F5/EF5
