An older woman was inside, but miraculously, she got out with minor injuries.
The Ring security camera clip, from Fox 13 Tampa which you can view at the bottom of this post, shows the tornado lifting here home so the bottom of it was vertical. The twister held the home in that position for nearly 20 seconds. Then the home slammed back down onto the ground, about where it had been in the first place.
The woman, Deborah Mettler, 76, told WFTS-TV in Tampa Bay, Florida that it was like a Wizard of Oz experience.

The home next to the Ring camera is lifted off its foundation, and hangs perpendicular in the air for nearly 20 seconds before crashing back to the ground. |
"I ended up back here in the bedroom. I had been in what was the family room and stepped out, which was good, because it's no longer there at all. So if I had stayed in that room, I don't know what would have happened to me."
The tornado damaged about 65 homes, but few were completely destroyed like Mettler's was. The EF-1 tornado had top winds of 90 mph and traveled about 2.1 miles through the city of Largo.
