What is the test to determine what it will be rated as, then? And what qualifies as a "solid building"? The high school was pretty well done in (superintendent has declared it will not be used again; the second floor is gone but the foundation and part of the first floor remain), for example.

So the first floor and the foundation was still there? If so, it was no F5. A f5 would of destroyed everything standing.

Re: Tornado outbreak again today?
Dozens of emergency crews descended on the town to look for those who have not been located and assess the damage. At least 20 people in the area remained unaccounted for, but many of them could be out of town over the long holiday weekend, Ericson said.

For a high school to lose its upper levels, that is EF3 damage I believe.

Re: Tornado outbreak again today?
I'm on the phone with a friend in Bedford, IA. Anyone have any thoughts on what sort of weather they may get? Also my friend's brother is in Maryville, MO. He went to see the new Indiana Jones movie and it gets out soon. We are hoping he checks his cell before getting on the road trying to drive back to Bedford...

Yeah, there's quite a bit left; larger structures in town are still partially there.
I can't find any good pictures of the school as it looks from the ground, but there's a little picture from the WHO-TV copter here: http://www.whotv.com/global/story.asp?s=8378124 -- it's captioned, fourth from the top.
