Discussion: The El Reno Tornado a modern example of the Tri-State Tornado?

[Jason Haller]

Watching footage of the El Reno tornado and reading the description of the Tri-State tornado seem to match up including the detail about the tornado being shrouded by "fog". While not nearly as long of a track seems to me that this may be as close to a visual representation of what that tornado my have looked like. What are other people's thoughts?

I read "Storm Kings" (Fantastic book - recommend!) last Fall and recall the "shrouded in fog" description in the Tri-State Tornado chapter. I have no technical input on this matter, but I thought of the similarities to El Reno before I had finished the chapter, so you aren't alone in your thinking.
