The Kansas City NWS released their damage survey from the Feb 28, 2007 nighttime tornadoes documented by TornadoVideos.net, and the rating was an EF-4 for the 1/2 mile wide wedge in Linn County, KS. Shown below is the picture we took just before the tornado morphed into a wedge.
The damage survey map from the NWS in KC is displayed below, with our position noted with the blue arrow. The EF-4 rating was based on the complete destruction of a single residence, garage, and several farm structures. The EF-4 rating represents estimated winds of 166-200 mph.
