Whispers around these parts suggesting it may have been an EF5. This is due to the damage on metal framed buildings which were levelled and the de-barking of trees leaving only stumps of the largest branches. Pick a damage indicator and we are pretty much consistently at the largest DOD for the indicator.

Certainly looking that it was at least an EF4. EF4 and EF5 together account for less than 1% of all torndoes.

We also don't need all the lightning and rain we are currently getting.
