Apparently the Nappanee, IN tornado of Thursday night was ~1/2 mile wide, was down for ~20 miles, and was an EF3 on the Enhanced Fujita Scale (winds 136-165 mph).

From The Indianapolis Star:
- 160 mph winds rake Nappanee, damage hundreds of structures
- Damage Photos

Where the hell is Nappanee, IN?
