What the National Weather Service wrote
This eighth tornado to impact central Indiana was the third of five tornadoes spawned within Madison County and Delaware County, and the second of three secondary tornadoes to track within these two counties, tracking over east-central Madison County and west-central Delaware County, to the south of the main tornado. This weaker circulation's damage was confined to mostly topped trees and superficial building damage, with overall sporadic damage indicating the circulation skipped along its track. Buildings ascertained mainly roofing or siding damage with less than 20 percent damage to structures. The tornado's damaged was masked to some degree by surrounding large area of strong and outflow winds. The tornado's peak wind gusts were 85 mph.
The wider storm
A strong low pressure system generated a line of strong to severe thunderstorms that started in Illinois and moved across central Indiana. Multiple severe storms were embedded within the line and some of these produced tornadoes. Eleven tornadoes impacted central Indiana, ten of which occurred along an overall west-southwest to east-northeast area from north of Terre Haute to north of Muncie. Four of these events, from Hendricks County to Delaware County, were secondary tornadoes that tracked parallel to longer duration tornadoes. Three tornadoes combined to impact western and northern portions of the Indianapolis Metro area, including an EF2 in Hendricks County that caused the episode's only injury. In addition to the tornadoes widespread wind damage occurred with gusts over 80+ mph reported.
Began near Anderson Jessup Arpt (40.1575, -85.6126).
