It was one year ago tonight that the October 18, 2007 Tornado Outbreak occurred. I chased this into Northern Indiana and then back into Michigan. This caused the EF-3 Nappanee, IN Tornado and the EF-2 Williamston, MI Tornado. I was actually on the Williamston, MI Cell originally when it was in Fulton County, IN.

I was going to do a big write up for this event on my former site, but that was scrapped last month due to the fact I am no longer with that company.

Here's a list of the warnings from the night
