Tornado seems to reintensify extremely rapidly out of nowhere.

Tornado dies as quickly as it reintensified. I did miss a photo or two between the first one here and last one previous. Tornado lasted 15-20 minutes and traveled over 4 miles. Greatest structural damage isn't shown and was EF-1 destroying a mobile home. I'd estimate EF-2 winds due to damage to tree in one of the phots where only one sizable branch is left and it is twisted and limp. I think that occurred when the tornado narrowed into a pinprick.

Unfortunately the warnings on the tornado took like 5 minutes to get out even after calling 911 and having a cop report it a minute earlier. warnings on noaa radio and to my cell took over 5 minutes. 100 mph just missed kids on a school bus.

Tornado reaching maximum and sustaining it for about 3 minutes.View attachment 7254 View attachment 7255 Between this pics I think this damage occurred as I saw roofing lift into the air right above the tree line. Notice how it was lifted out of the mobile home without destroying the mobile home completely.

GOD please help this man!

Yeah I know it's sideways, that's not the point
