Relatively reasonable winds so far, storm surge not as much.
 
My takeaway is that those are some sturdy roofs if the tornado was flipping cars and none got peeled. Some lost shingles, but I don't see any decking that came up.
Wind speed to pick up a car is pretty significant, tornado had to be close to on top of them.
