The TX storm is heading towards Jasper, completely pristine environment, high STPs. It appears that the previous tornado, which if you look at the damage pictures and videos coming in on snap and twitter, was at least high end EF3, and was likely an EF4. The population in Seven Oaks is only 111, but that appeared to have been a direct hit. Also, this thing is heading for Jasper. As for weakening...it appears that outflow from the storm was looped back around and the air was still unstable enough to promote precipitation development which cut off the tornadic inflow. Super classic tornado cycling. The cell remains isolated, so, if it cycles, it'll generate a new low-level circulation to the southwest. There is no lack of available energy or shear, and nothing is holding it back. It may well cycle right now but I don't think it's going away in the near future. Circulation remains quite strong. I'm cycling back and forth between KPOE and HCX. It'll likely produce again shortly.

The motion shown in the videos was certainly indicative of a powerful tornado; do you have specific examples of damage photos/videos that are evident of that sort of rating? I haven't found too much on that yet

I think they are basing it off of SPC's radar-based judgement.

Well, here's the link to snapchat, as was linked above: https://map.snapchat.com/ttp/snap/W7_EDlXWTBiXAEEniNoMPwAAYbrbdlJLTjOtAAXGkM9xgAXGkM9oXAO1OAA/@30.891044,-94.751369,9.66z. I'm looking at the damage, the atmospheric environment the tornado was going through, the height debris was lifted to (around 25k feet), a couple of the videos suggest subvorticies (which would have been the spots you'd see the EF4 damage here). SPC did note they thought the environment was supportive of EF3 intensity so I think that's relatively easy to conclude. I'm basing EF4 off of the height debris was lifted to coupled with the initial images of damage, which I strongly doubt are anything close to the WORST damage that occurred.

Jasper TX might be in serious trouble 

Yes. Jasper is in serious trouble. That couplet is nasty, and it is getting stronger with each scan, and it's heading right for them. Once someone can confirm this visually, this is one of the times an emergency warning is warranted. People need to get to shelter, now.

It might pass just north of them but the general motion has been predominately east thus far.
