This large
violent stovepipe tornado destroyed numerous homes and other buildings near Katie
with a few homes being leveled or swept away.
Vehicles were thrown and mangled beyond recognition (SEEN ABOVE)
and extensive ground scouring occurred.
Severe tree damage occurred along the path
with some trees denuded and debarked.
Noted for having very violent motion and a very loud roar that could be herd from miles.

This large wedge tornado produced high-end EF3 damage along its path
though mobile Doppler radar recorded winds over 200 mph (320 km/h) as the tornado was passing over an open field.

Notes
During the initial stages of development
there was DOW data on this tornado.
It intensified from 40 meters/second to 90 meters/second in a span of 21 seconds that lasted less than a minute at those velocities.
This would have been enough to produce EF5 damage briefly
based on those velocities.
As the tornado moved north into a housing addition just west of Dodge City
it showed multiple vortex characteristics and did EF2 Damage.
One person was seriously hurt in a home that was heavily damaged.

Notes
An anchor-bolted brick farm home was swept away and was ripped from its foundation so violently that part of the foundation was severely cracked
though the area surrounding the home was not swept completely clean.
Vehicles and large pieces of farm machinery were thrown and mangled beyond recognition
and a section of metal railroad track was bent horizontally by the tornado.
Officially rated very high-end EF4 with winds of 200 mph (320 km/h)
though NWS Topeka damage surveyors later noted that based on the severity of the damage in rural areas
it "could have very well been" rated EF5 had it struck Chapman directly.
