Looks impressive, but i think "horrific" is a bit of a stretch. No injuries and one house destroyed from what i've read. I couldn't find the wind speed anywhere. As tornadoes go this looks like a tiny one. Really cool looking though. I wish all tornado videos looked this cool and caused such minimal damage.

Agree, this looks like an F2 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fujita_scale).

Horrifying is F3 and up.

Here is an F5, horrific doesn't come close to describing the carnage:

This Moore, OK EF5 flyover gives a good idea of what is left by the path once you get about 4 minutes into the video.

I know the Jarrell F5, which I was around 12 miles from at the time, left similar damage but it was harder to tell because it just hoovered up everything. It literally ripped the asphalt from the roadways and left them like old dirt roads. Because a lot of it was rural, entire trailer parks and farms just became empty fields.
