What EF1 means. On the Enhanced Fujita scale, EF1 is moderate damage: roofs badly stripped, mobile homes pushed off foundations or overturned, windows broken, consistent with estimated gusts of 86–110 mph. The rating comes from a survey of the worst damage after the storm, not from a wind measurement, so it says as much about what the tornado hit as about how strong it was.

What the National Weather Service wrote

Another tornado, perhaps from the same parent circulation that

spawned the Argos tornado, developed on the northeast side of

Bourbon in Marshall County. The tornado touched down in a field,

with tree damage observed in the distance just east of Beech Road

and north of 10B Road. The tornado raced northeastward, striking

a property where two old barns collapsed and a third was damaged.

Metal roofing material was also blown off, and several trees

sustained major damage, consistent with an EF-1 rating. The

tornado then crossed the county line into Kosciusko County, where

it impacted multiple Amish properties. In this area, a camper was

flipped, several softwood trees were snapped, and maximum winds

were estimated at 90 to 100 mph.

The wider storm

A squall line raced through northern Indiana and spawned numerous tornadoes. Most tornadoes were narrow and lasted less then 10 minutes. Additional areas of straight line wind damage were noted as well.

Began near Etna Green (41.3430, -86.0580).
