I'm going to disagree with the tornado rating and say it should have been EF3 based upon the damage.

That damage looks like cat 3 hurricane damage, which produces gusts in the EF3 range. The EF scale, I believe, is based off of gusts, not sustained winds.

That damage looks consistent with a mid range category 3 hurricnae, which would be the equivalent of an EF3 not an EF2 tornado.
