I just reviewed the reflectivity and velocity data from that time period and nothing screamed "supercellular". It looked like the storm formed on a boundary. Most of the sites to the north had northerly winds and sites to the south, southerly. Barring the possibility of a min-supe, I'd say it was a non-supercell tornado. Here is a pic from a local news site:
There is another photo of a tornado in a slide show here:

... but it doesn't look to be of the same event.
Dann,
I saw the photo you mentioned and believed the same to be true; it just didn't look like it could be from the same event. 3 days after it was reported I went out to the site and surveyed for myself. The photo I took was as close as I could get to where the original was taken; note the same trailers behind the building. Based on where the shot was taken, in relation to where the damage took place, I can say with certainty that the original picture is legit.
