Default Dodged a Bullet Last Night

From the damage I estimate an F2-F3 tonado 2-3 miles from my home. A
total of 8 touched down in High Point last night.

Scary stuff.

Pictures from a nearby neighborhood:

incredible. took the roof and walls off, left the picture hanging on the
last wall.

It is amazing what can be left amid destruction -- I've seen sheet music
still on the piano at the page it was left when room walls/ceiling gone
around it.

NOAA has gone to an "enhanced Fujita" rating system -- same idea, just
updated estimates based on more detailed damage comparisons over time.

I'd guess this would equate to EF-2, not EF-3 or just barely 3-level.
