Looking at those pictures, my guess would be EF3 for that tornado.

NWS Shreveport has completed their Survey. The Waskom tornado was an EF3...

For a time lapse of the Flint, TX supercell click the link below. This storm produced an EF-0 tornado and the last frame is the funnel. It touched down 2000' east of the photographer.

I have updated my blog to show radar images of all tornadoes and NWS surveys from the event.

Also a picture of the funnel that would become the Flint tornado.
