What the National Weather Service wrote

A brief landspout tornado formed from multiple cells combining along a boundary. The vortex tracked for under a mile over bare farm fields roughly parallel to and south of Indiana Route 32. The landspout passed within 1000 feet of a wind power turbine, yet caused no damage.

The wider storm

A broad, weakening upper level trough slowly tracking up the Ohio Valley produced numerous showers and a few thunderstorms across Indiana through the afternoon hours. A couple cells merged while interacting with a weak boundary and weak rotation provided by the parent trough, producing a brief EFU landspout in Randolph County.

Began near Mull (40.1670, -85.0430).
