EF0 Tornado — Montgomery, Indiana

2023-04-05 · near New Ross, Montgomery, Indiana

Event narrative

The tornado touched down on the west side of County Road 1050 East

just south of US Route 136. At this location, roof panels were

peeled back on a garage and center cut roofing material was thrown

500 yards. Some siding was peeled off the house.

The tornado moved northeast and crossed US Route 136 with

additional damage to two structures along East New Ross Road, a

house and an outbuilding. The wind entered the open door of the

outbuilding, blew out a wall panel and pulled nails straight out.

A short distance to the north, the house had its eastern garage wall blown out

after the corner of the structure bent inwards. A grill was

thrown to the east-northeast about 20 yards.
