EF1 tornado in Cass County, Indiana

Drone footage from Cass County Emergency Management shows evidence of a tornado southeast of Lake Cicott. Dozens, if not hundreds, of trees were damaged by the brief tornado along with instances of property damage. The tornado appears to have begun over a wooded area near the termination of S CR 750 W (South of W CR 50 S). Here, a few trees were uprooted followed by an area of trees snapped near the base. Based on a convergent signature, the tornado appears to have curved quickly to the northeast, taking a few roof panels off a nearby outbuilding. Now approaching the bend in the road of W CR 50 S, the tornado appears to have intensified sharply with intense destruction and uprooting of trees, resulting in a clear convergent pattern. Nearby buildings appear to have avoided significant damage. On yet another sharp jaunt to the north, now headed to a farmstead, the tornado continued to destroy trees but also destroyed two barns, removed portions of roof off three other outbuildings, and completely destroyed a grain bin. Debris was gathered at the base of a nearby tree line. Aloft, a few large branches appear to have been snapped. Beyond this, trees are untouched suggesting the tornado lifted.

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.
