Buckeye05 Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 Definitely at least EF4 damage, UNLESS the home was poorly anchored. Also note the shredded shrubbery close to the ground. That is something you tend to see around the perimeter of homes hit by EF4+ tornadoes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PGM Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 I'm no expert in damage surveys, but that last image looks like it could be EF-4 damage. Some homes look like they were swept right off of the foundation.. that's borderline EF5. I feel sick to my stomach looking at these pictures.. So many lives were destroyed today. Homes destroyed. Families torn apart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
