I would add Chelsea, Indiana to that list. From reports, that area was
pretty much a strip of homes along a state highway before yesterday
afternoon. Rescuers not familiar with the area were not able to determine
how many houses were damaged because some houses were so unrecognizeable as
such.
Local TV weather people, based on the damage from an arial view, were
estimating that the tornado will be rated an EF4-EF5 as it went through
Chelsea.
West Liberty had been hit with a tornado on Wednesday also.

mentions EF4 damage near Chelsea. I think they might still be
investigating that.

; yes, that is insane, but I think it was classified as an EF3. You
can't go by appearances.
EF5 damage in Jarrell, TX, in 1997, for comparison:
