This photo shows high-end F-2 or low-end F-3 damage, evidenced by trees being snapped off, leaving only one-fifth to one-quarter of their sizes. The debarked trees are not shown (if those trees were still there, you would see no clearing in the middle of the photo), neither is the well-built home that was blown off of its foundation (the roof was damaged but remained in tact) in the Country Plantation subdivision in Kennesaw, Cobb County, Georgia, caused by a tornado that produced F-4 damage in other parts of Cobb County and in Cherokee County. At one point, the tornado was one-quarter-mile wide (and only about 150 yards in the location in the photo). In all, the tornado injured 35+ people, with no fatalities. I still believe that the Country Plantation tornado was a separate or satellite tornado, as the F-4 damage was occurring 3 miles to the northwest at the same time that this damage was occuring, along a path parallel to the tornado that caused the damage in this photo. However, all track maps I have seen show only one tornado, which, if true, took the most bizarre track that doesn't quite match up to the damage path.
