Severe WX May 2019 Plains Severe Event

That guy has more damage pictures if you click through to his Twitter, I just didn't want to embed a whole bunch of stuff. It's definitely EF3-EF4 damage.
 
The big structure complex hit was a major agricultural/greenhouse center... which was obliterated. Trees debarked in the background. I've seen plenty of nearly slabbed homes in aerials and lots of contextual high end evidence already.
 
This appears to be one of the homes that was essentially slabbed near Linwood. Obviously can't tell much about construction, but just for a frame of reference.

Ummm....Any signs of ground scouring around the house? Might make a stronger case for a higher rating.

Doesn't appear so but it's hard to tell for certain. There's some pronounced debarking/denuding in some places though. A lot of the homes appear to be sliders, so that alone wouldn't earn a violent rating. Will depend on whether any of them were well-constructed.
 
Wow, it’s been a busy tornado day. I saw where Timmer shot a rocket in one of the big Kansas tornadoes.

Do you happen to have an after photo of the location? I tried searching and I couldn't find anything that really linked up. The helicopter video didn't seem to provide any matches.

Should've saved it at the time but I don't have it handy now. I'll see if I can find it again. IIRC, I think it was in the area shown during one of the helicopter flyovers as it was beginning to get a bit darker out.
 
Not a confirmation, but I've heard mention of an aerial shot of that site showing that the garage next to it was leveled but the house having only minor damage; closer analysis of aerial vids when they're posted would seem required
