EF0 Tornado — Delaware, Indiana

2024-09-22 · near Cammack, Delaware, Indiana

Event narrative

The landspout occurred at the northern end of the small Cammack neighborhood within the north side of the Yorktown area, specifically immediately east of the northern end of Cammack Street. Here the narrow vortex tracked to the east-northeast, quasi-parallel, yet across the longitudinal axis of a 200 by 80 foot pole barn. The landspout both began and ended at approximately 1839 EST.

The barn sustained damage to portions of its west side where the wall collapsed inwards; although little to no damage occurred to the frame/structure of the building.

Primarily sheet metal was blown inward into the building and outward back to the west, while remaining parts of the metal building were not damaged. No other damage was found to adjacent properties.

Wider weather episode

Damp and muggy early-autumn conditions with several docile rain showers, also included a small shower that produced a very brief landspout tornado about 5 miles west-northwest of Muncie. The cell apparently developed along a weak boundary that extended to the west from where the landspout tornado occurred.
