The damage of Chapman tornado's first peak north of Abliene often gets overlooked. This house near indy/2700 avenue didn't mentioned by NWS and obviously it was swept clean. The wind-rowing near bottom of the picture was violent.

Yeah that completely swept away house near Abilene was skipped by the NWS Topeka survey team, and wasn't even acknowledged by any meteorologists at all until several people, including myself, contacted Tim Marshall about it. It was rated EF4 due to a lack of wall stud connections, but I strongly feel that this house experienced EF5 winds. I find it strange and irritating that even after Tim Marshall made statements about it, it was still left out of the NWS Topeka survey information. Why in the world would they do that??
