Wind Knotted an Iron Bridge: Sherman 1896's Forgotten F5 Monster

Описание: 🌪️ The Sherman Cyclone: F5 Horror That Tied Bridges Like Rope 🌪️

Dive into the terrifying true story of the Sherman Cyclone*, the forgotten F5 monster that ravaged Sherman, Texas on May 15, 1896. This narrow, hyper-intense supercell tornado moved at 50+ mph, debarked trees, scoured soil to expose coffins, plucked chickens clean, and—most impossibly—*twisted massive 1890s iron bridge beams into knots on the Houston Street Bridge over Post Oak Creek. No F5 damage like this exists in modern records.

From the eerie green sky and dead calm to the apocalyptic roar, black rain, and debris raining from 60 miles away in Oklahoma—this was nature's ultimate riddle. Newspapers refused to print the gory details: atomized homes, sucked-up victims, debarked oaks, and straw driven through tree trunks like needles.

Compare it to Jarrell, El Reno, Joplin, and the Tri-State Tornado—Sherman's energy density was unmatched. Part of the deadly 1896 outbreak that prelude St. Louis' great cyclone, but Sherman's high-end F5 fury stole the show in brutality.

🔬 *Tornado Science Breakdown*:
Loaded Gun supercell setup: Humid Gulf air vs. dryline cap explosion
Suction vortices twisting iron (300-400 mph winds?)
Ground scouring, wind shock injuries, multivortex structure

Survivors faced looters, no electricity, and mud-soaked horror. Why is this Texas' most violent recorded wind event buried in history?
