That Ft. Walton video is exhibit A as to how you can get killed well outside the area of influence from the visible tornado. Watch from about 1:20 as the tornado exits onto the water and there is still a lot of land debris with it. Some of it is hitting well ahead and outside the circulation and some of it is pretty large. The splashes give a good indication the type of damage it might do to someone standing around looking at it or even in a car.
This is a crude piecing together of about 2 seconds of video to capture more of the area. In about 2 seconds time you can see all of the debris I posted here hit the water well outside the main funnel. The huge splash on the right, I believe is a roof. The left side of this image was scanned to very briefly but fortunately a lot was hitting the water well ahead of the tornado. Just amazing and very informative!
