Folks,

From what I understand, about 1/3 of Nappanee is gone. This includes most of the east side of town.

Gulfstream Coach, Franklin Coach and Fairmont homes are mostly gone. It will most likely be months before any of these companies are back up in business. After the 2 tornados, rated F3's, left Nappanee they were headed for New Paris and the south end of Goshen. But, thank God that as they got north east of Nappanee and out into the country side, they fizzled to nothing very quickly!

Anyway, There was a tremendious amount of damage and a lot of homes completely destroyed.

It is amazing that there was no lose of life because, a couple of Nappanees fire apparatus were damaged in the process of warning residents.

Clean up and rebuilding will take a good while.
