Odd Tornado Damage

I do have a few questions on violent tornadoes, is how granulation happens (I assume just from the high winds just pulverizing debris) as well as how windrowing occurs (I would assume due to sub vortexes)


Also I would love to see any odd photos of tornado damage any of you may have, I'm always in awe of what they can do
Here are some images from the 1974 outbreak. Brandenburg, KY F5, curtain rods driven into trees. Harvest, AL F5, bathtub embedded into the ground

Also in Xenia, Ohio, a wash cloth was pushed through a roof then the ceiling into the bathroom leaving a medium size hole. They have the wash cloth on display at the museum in Xenia.

Never seen those curtain rod photos from Brandenburg before, interesting. Reminded me of this photo from New Richmond (this is a sign post if I'm not mistaken?)
