For those that were interested, here is the difference in vivid detail between an EF-4 and an EF-5. The EF-5 that hit in North Alabama didn't hit a major population center, but stayed on the ground for 90 miles and killed at least 70. The destruction was amazing.

It is the difference between destroying houses and building, and actually sucking asphalt and concrete from the ground. Wow.
