EF2 for sure. There's hints of some EF3 damage. It'll depend on how "well constructed" the weather service deems some of the more severely damaged stuff.
EF2s can take roofs off, down trees, and completely collapse/destroy metal buildings, sheds, outbuildings, etc.; 3s can wipe away whole upper stories of well-built buildings--didn't really see too much of that, though, with the homes that were more than a single story in the aerial shots. There were roofs gone and second story walls collapsed in places, but nothing that looked completely wiped away.
Most of the "catastrophic" damage looked to be to metal buildings, garage type structures, etc.
So it wouldn't surprise me if they decide to go EF3 in parts of the damage; but nothing I've seen looks greater than that.
