One more, presumably of the same house. Probable LE EF3. Luckily everyone seems to have gotten out fine.

Yeah that's the same house.

Also did some quick geolocating off of the tornado reports to make a preliminary path for it to find a candidate for the house (Driveway goes around so I had to flip it and not rely on streetview, but the tree and power line in the first image matches up decently and the trees in the background matchup well enough as well when you do so. This is from the front while the image was taken around the back, so that's why it looks different)

If I'm correct, this was NOT a mobile home by any means. It has a little metal cover for the vehicles and a raised porch too. If I'm right, EF-3 is fine here.

@buckeye05 curious to hear your thoughts? Could be a decent candidate for EF3.

About 15 homes were damaged, with the worst damage being to one south of New Hebron, IL. No confirmed photos of that home yet but the report said it was "destroyed". With tornado damage the meaning of that can greatly vary, though.
 
NWS is just-now adding more photos to the event summary; this is the Flat Rock-Robinson tor:

Quite beautiful for such a low-based tornado.

Seems to have been extremely rain/hail wrapped, which makes sense given the signature shows a very clear curtain out in front of the possible BWER. Very similar to the Rolling Fork tornado, where it might've been visible from the backside but the front was completely wrapped.

The big gray blob in the left and center part of the photo is it. The one sent yesterday is from an MO tornado last year and isn't this one.
