In May of 2008, a small town in Iowa was devastated by a long-track EF5 tornado. In a few short minutes, the southern half of Parkersburg was wiped clean off the map. Over 300 homes, several banks, and a high school were subject to winds over 200 miles per hour. Just one year removed from the Greensburg disaster, many residents were left wondering how, and if, their beloved town would recover. Against the odds, and with the help of Americans across the country, Parkersburg has made a full recovery, and is now a decent small mid-American town with a brand-new high school. Today we’ll look at the meteorology behind one of the most devastating tornadoes of the early 2000s, examine in-detail the wild and inconsistent damage path that this tornado produced, and draw eerily similar comparisons to one of the most infamous tornadoes of all time that occurred 5 years later.
