EF1 tornado in Monroe County, Indiana

A supercell thunderstorm spawned this third tornado of the day, which would track across far southwestern Monroe County, for its first 3 miles in a mainly easterly direction, before turning more east-southeasterly along the track's final 1.5 miles. The tornado inflicted a combination of EF0 and EF1 intensity damage. Strongest winds were estimated at 100 mph over latter portions of the track, both where the tornado turned right and again when impacting a home shortly after crossing South Rockport Road.

The tornado began as an EF0 on the south side of West Carmichael Road, about 1500 feet west-northwest of the intersection of West Carmichael Road and West Rock East Road; here it damaged multiple outbuildings and a barn. About a half mile of EF1 intensity damage then occurred along West Rock East Road including multiple trees snapped at the trunk. Near the midpoint of the track upon crossing South Lee Phillips Road, the tornado caused isolated tree and home damage including uprooted a hardwood tree and blowing out a window. 0.9 miles later the tornado reached peak intensity over a slight rise of ground, with winds snapping trees, destroying a wood-anchored shed, and bending an anchored steel plate. The tornado then turned to the east-southeast, and again exhibited peak intensity upon crossing South Rockport Road where a well-built barn was partially destroyed and a 2-story home sustained extensive roof damage. For the final 0.8 miles of its track, the tornado roughly paralleled South Rockport Road while occasionally snapping pine trees, before ending about 4 miles west of the western end of Monroe Lake.

An afternoon severe weather outbreak was organized by an approaching cold front and fueled by 2000-3000 J/kg of CAPE courtesy of high lapse rates aloft, surface dewpoints in the low to mid-70s, and cooresponding temperatures as high as the mid to upper 90s over western central Indiana. Numerous rotating supercell thunderstorms developed over western central Indiana in the early to mid-afternoon and proceeded to the east-southeast through central and southern Indiana. These cells produced penny or larger hail over 16 of the region's 39 counties, more isolated straight line wind damage to trees, barns and roofs, and four EF1/EF2 tornadoes within a 33-minute period along the I-69 corridor south of Indianapolis. Each tornado was spawned from a separate supercell: an EF2 that impacted residential communities in northwestern Johnson County, a pair of EF1s that tracked across rather rural portions of northern Daviess/Martin Counties and southwestern Monroe County, and finally a longer-track EF2 that crossed far southern Martin County, killing 1 person and injuring another when destroying a rural residence, before ending its track in extreme northeastern Dubois County. The end of the event saw, amid the weakening cluster of supercells, three cells produce isolated large hail over eastern central Indiana, with also wind damage to two barns in the Seymour area.
