I didn't see any anchoring in the video, but still I can't necessarily be certain there wasn't any.
Looks as if one NWS office is doing its due diligence.
Can someone tell me exactly where these homes were? Maybe it's just me but I've looked through every drone video of Bremen I can find, but can't find these homes.

It looks like they were next to a lake, is it possible this is at Cambridge Shores and mislabeled as Bremen?
This is in Cambridge Shores, KY.
Beginning to notice a lot of similarities between these tornadoes and Van Wert...

You guys are correct. The person I got the photo from mislabeled them as Bremen. Thank you very much!

Yep, I think this is the house on Google Maps. Driveways match up.

The house in the black circle is here:
Here is an aerial view of another home in Cambridge Shores, which was well anchored to its foundation:

The things to watch for ratings-wise for even a well anchored a slabbed home is to make sure all the contextual indicators are met, if any trees or shrubs near the house are standing intact and cars aren't thrown well away from the house that typically precludes a higher rating for better or worse. Seen plenty that both do and don't meet all the requirements so we'll see what the ground survey says when they get there.
I mentioned that in an earlier post about the same home. I don't think they will rate it EF5 for those reasons.

That first shot of the plant in Mayfield is almost as bad as the Wrangler plant being levelled in Hackleburg; ALMOST as bad.

I was going to say I saw some rumblings earlier that suggested that they took the necessary precautions and my first thought was "you're going to trust the managers on that?"

Amazing to think that blatant disregard for workplace safety regulations is still a problem in this country in the 21st century. Really hope the managers get held accountable for this.

Had to screenshot another part of that Bremen video, because this might be the creepiest capture of a tornado that I've seen, especially knowing what it was doing in this area.
Going to save this thread from a major rant, but I talked to my dad who is a police officer and knows pretty much everything about the law (obviously), and he said if that is true, the managers could very well be charged with criminal negligence and involuntary manslaugher, not to mention the payouts to the victims and their families the company would have to make in civil court.
