I'd say that was "close". You don't get much closer. We were in Cane Garden and saw a very intense wind for a few moments, but didn't last long at all. I turned on my amateur radio and was surprised by the lack of traffic. I came from Ohio, 5 miles from Xenia, which had two severe tornadoes within 10 years and I'll assure you that the cloud shown would have prompted plenty of radio traffic and NWS reporting.
