In case you missed it (and hopefully I didn't miss a previous post!), The Enterprise Alabama tornado from March 1st has been upgraded to a low end EF4 , as has the Millers Ferry tornado.

After witnessing the continued decrease of involvement in the SpotterNetwork staff in serving SN members with troubleshooting issues recently, I have unilaterally decided to terminate the relationship between SpotterNetwork's support and Stormtrack. I have witnessed multiple users unable to receive support weeks after initiating help threads on the forum. I find this lack of response from SpotterNetwork officials disappointing and a failure to hold up their end of the agreement that was made years ago, before I took over management of this site. In my opinion, having Stormtrack users sit and wait for so long to receive help on SpotterNetwork issues on the Stormtrack forums reflects poorly not only on SpotterNetwork, but on Stormtrack and (by association) me as well. Since the issue has not been satisfactorily addressed, I no longer wish for the Stormtrack forum to be associated with SpotterNetwork.
I apologize to those who continue to have issues with the service and continue to see their issues left unaddressed. Please understand that the connection between ST and SN was put in place long before I had any say over it. But now that I am the "captain of this ship," it is within my right (nay, duty) to make adjustments as I see necessary. Ending this relationship is such an adjustment.
For those who continue to need help, I recommend navigating a web browswer to SpotterNetwork's About page, and seeking the individuals listed on that page for all further inquiries about SpotterNetwork.
From this moment forward, the SpotterNetwork sub-forum has been hidden/deleted and there will be no assurance that any SpotterNetwork issues brought up in any of Stormtrack's other sub-forums will be addressed. Do not rely on Stormtrack for help with SpotterNetwork issues.
Sincerely, Jeff D.

This here still says EF3
The deadliest tornado was also the first. A tornado warning was issued by this office at 1847 UTC (12:47 PM CST) for Coffee County including the City of Enterprise, AL. An NWS Storm Survey Team determined that a tornado rated EF3 on the new enhanced Fujita Scale touched down in Enterprise, AL, 18 minutes later at around 1905 UTC (1:05 PM CST). The tornado was first observed on the ground at the Enterprise Municipal Airport. About five minutes later, after briefly lifting, it slammed into the Enterprise High School killing eight students and injuring at least 50. The fatalities occurred when a concrete wall collapsed onto a group of students huddled in the hallway in a crouched position. The football stadium was severely damaged. Figure 2 shows the damage paths of the tornado across Enterprise. Figure 3 shows some of the damage to the high school, courtesy of WTVY-4. Downtown Enterprise, where an additional fatality occurred

To be honest, from the various footage I saw on NBC and other news sites, that week, I'm not suprised at it being upgraded to a low end EF-4, because when I had looked at alot of the damage from various pics, from the various news sites and other video clips, etc, I had a gut feeling that the tornado was a little stronger than they probably be aware of, untill a more detailed investigation of the exact damage and secondary damage done.
Reguardless of the tornado rating(s) though, it can't bring back those who were killed by the tornadoes, and my respects and sympathies go to the families of all those people who died that day.

March 1, 2007 is the first time since March 27, 1994....and only one of eight times in Alabama tornado history....that more than one F4 tornado has touched down in the state on the same day.
