Herad on the news that there was atleast one confirmed E-F1 tornado today, however in your pictures it looks like you're on a logging trail because for the most part the tress are topped if you look at the trunks on the ground.

Well it took one barn out completely. It also ripped a trailor home from its frame. Neighbors house had a tree log stuck in the front door. When the storm finally gave way it stuck a bunch of trees into another guys house. I didn't get any pictures of them though. The video shows the last mile of the tornado as it lost its power. Just to the left of the video was the house with about 20 trees on it.

Nope not that i know of. Three women are missing though. Not sure if it is cause of the tornado though. Oh yeah it started about 50ft from my uncles house is where the tornado started its rampage.

A tornado would cause convergent destruction and "straight-line winds" (aka downburst, microburst, macroburst, ect.) cause divergent damage. If the fallen trees and debris look as though they've been pushed in the same direction, the area experienced straight-line winds. However, if debris is scattered all willy-nilly, it was a tornado.
