Twenty-nine and two tens miles of a tornado path. That is a different kind of tornado as far as I am concerned especially because it was a EF3.
I can't address in it's entirety in this entry, however, there has been a change in hurricanes and tropical storms since at least 2007. There has been increasing turbulence WITHIN THE STORM and not so much a well-defined eye in tropical storms and low rated hurricanes. In other words, what might be normally a Cat 3 hurricane, it is now a Cat 1 storm with increasing numbers of tornadoes within the storm.
Yes, yes, there are always hurricanes at the edges of hurricanes. This is different. It is tornadoes that take up what normally would be found in the eye of the storm. It is a change in climate and low levels of water vapor at the surface of the Earth and the effort to build high-velocity winds.
I will have to address this more later, perhaps another Sunday Night.

From the Carolinas to Connecticut, (click here) Tropical Storm Isaias unleashed more than three dozen tornadoes as it swept up the Mid-Atlantic coast one week ago. Among them was a tornado in Delaware, which traveled the greatest distance in the state on record.
Most tornadoes spawned by tropical storms and hurricanes are quick-hitting and weak, but Isaias’s defied the rule. One deadly twister in North Carolina rated EF3 on the 0-to-5 scale for intensity, while several others spent tens of minutes on the ground, carving lengthy paths of damage.
Delaware’s record-breaking tornado tracked from its capital Dover to Middletown — some 29.2 miles away. That path length more than doubles the previous record for a tornado in Delaware of 13 miles, which stemmed from a twister in New Castle County on June 7, 1988....
