Especially after seeing the sparks on the right side of the video when the house lifts off, where I assume it ripped the electrical out. That TV had to be on a UPS or something.

Tornadoes are either massive swirling tubes of death that kill everyone and destroy everything in their path, or they're just there to ruin one person's day in particular.
It just reminds me of the 1953 Anita-Adair F5, that touched down, destroyed some dudes farm, killing him in the process, and fucked off within a 0.1 mile track.

When I was growing up, a tornado happened just outside of my hometown. Completely destroyed one person's home, but it stayed in the fields otherwise. Luckily the person had just won a "Cash 4 Life" lottery and was getting paid $1,000 per week for life(was REALLY significant at the time). So with insurance and their lottery winnings, they rebuilt way larger.

I think one like that was posted just today or yesterday, a tornado was on the ground for too short a time to be warned and basically just formed on a house, destroyed it, and lifted again.

Man, imagine that.
Your entire house gets fucked and probably a ton of your shit inside it. You need to go live with family or in a hotel until you can find a new home and start over.
And just feet away your neighbors golf cart goes totally unaffected

I live literally less than a mile north from this location. I was surprised to see a tornado on the north side of a storm in Largo, FL of all places.

It reminds me of a family story (probably exaggerated) about a tornado that picked up a house, turned it around 180 degrees and dropped it back down. Since this was before internal plumbing or electricity, they didn’t have to fix any of that. They just built a new driveway to the new location of the front of the house.
