Okay, I don't hear anybody keyed up So yeah, so the the swept clean phenomenon Which is also known as ground scouring that'll happen when you know you get extreme winds and they actually will rip asphalt off roads and stuff like that and It's particularly noted when when large violent tornadoes You know EF5s, F5s, they sort of they're so big and slow moving at times. They sort of stop while they essentially they sort of do this looping motion because of the parent mesocyclone so when they're doing this smaller loop they don't really move over the land as the storm is back building or morphing so areas can experience these winds for 30 seconds or more and in that time they'll excavate soil and dig down and things like that so one of the most extreme cases of this was with the 1997 Gerald Texas tornado where it stalled over a subdivision and it produced damage that was so extreme you know homes were completely scoured off their foundations often removing the concrete concrete slab and in some of the reports it actually pulled up plumbing and asphalt pavement and it only left mud and gravel and then in the 2011 Philadelphia Mississippi tornado that one also had extreme ground a ground scouring and that one actually removed half a meter so 1.6 feet of soil in a few places and again like I was saying right a lot of high wind tornadoes not moving the wind keeps blowing it's like a giant jet engine or a leaf blower just ripping everything apart let me drop it
