Question

Answer 1

yeah i heard about it, i live in chippewa falls.......lafayette and we had to go to the storm shelter it looked like a hurricane here we didnt get the tornado but they said we got the worst of the storm when we came out of the shelter it had knocked down trees power lines there was trees on power lines it was bad.

Answer 2

Devastating. Houses were obliterated, debris were everywhere. I'd think borderline EF3/4 damage from the photo:

The one in Parkersburg was worse; yesterday was a violent day for tornadoes. Confirmed damage reports are not yet in; the SPC is still busy planning for today.

Definitely not the worst tornado. That belongs to the Parkersburg, Iowa tornado, which, as rumors abound, is being compared to the likes of the McConnell AFB tornado and Greensburg.
