Yeah those EF-0 tornados show no mercy on trash cans.
My house was directly hit by this storm at midnight; I heard the heavy wind and rain blowing outside my house and peeked through my window and saw a trash can lift a few feet off the ground and another trash can sliding down my street which I thought was kind of funny.
WOW!
