In some cases officials will change the classification based on damage, but it’s basically guaranteed that it won’t be classified higher than an EF2 at the worst.
Guaranteed to not be higher than EF2? It literally slabbed brick houses, stop making shit up. If you think size has any relevance to rating, look up the Manitoba EF5. Ratings are based on damage not size.

I’m not saying this video isn’t crazy, but as someone who lives in the Midwest, this ain’t a “massive” tornado. It’s barely 4 car lanes wide. There have been tornados that were a city wide. This was officially listed as an EF1. (Source: https://www.nbcnews.com/weather/storms/tornado-outbreak-flash-flooding-rcna199242 )
