View is in the southerly direction on the south side of the tornado path and I believe it captures the inflow into the tornado. The center of the tornado path is about 2000ft to the right of the camera.
Tornado Approaches around 5:30 Timepoint.
There is a steadily increasing low frequency roar as the tornado approaches that might be the sound of the tornado.
Update:
I found some preliminary data from the NOAA on the tornado track and specific intensities. I've updated my initial estimates based on this. The location of the EF4 damaged areas of Newnan are about 4000ft away and the EF3 damage on Newnan HS is about 3500ft away just to give you a relative perspective. I think the intensity you're seeing in the video is probably in the EF0/EF1 range based on our location in the path. The experience must have been much worse closer in. I would love to hear some expert observations on what we're seeing (and hearing) here. I can probably get time stamps for the video.
There's a lot of interest in the camera. It's a Unifi G3 Bullet. It's mounted up under the edge of the roof. I'm assuming the roof edge is what shielded it. It did get a little dirty but wasn't hit with anything - just barely.
