it's not the size that determines the Fujita ranking, it is wind speed

Thanks for veryfing for sure . I only saw on the weather station an EF 1. Then garnerboy said it was bigger. I am hearing from another source where she was at , it was alot stronger than an F1..more like an F2. For her 5th wheel was picked up and thrown into another pasture. Along with downing alot of trees. This here did pick up a trailer house, and then smashed the trailer into pieces on the road and blew the bottom of the mobile home into a pasture.

Tore our barn top off, and leveled trees

Garnerboy420, this was an EF1 and that is a fact. You cannot judge a tornado by it's appearance. An EF4 or 5 would level sturdy homes and sweep the foundations clean, throw cars great distances, and peel bark off of trees. This tornado caused relatively minor damage only to barns , trailers, and tree limbs which is EF1.

@garnerboy420 Thanks for saying that. This is my first tornado to be in and see. I was only going with what the weather men were saying .

@LoraR480 It looks like a f4 or f5,
