EF2 tornado in Dearborn County, Indiana

The first damage produced by the tornado occurred on Texas Gas Road, where a large tree was uprooted and other smaller trees were downed. Farther east along Cole Lane, an attached garage was destroyed and a large tree was downed onto a house. In addition, a roof was lifted from another garage and several trees were snapped at their trunks.

The tornado strengthened and proceeded east near East Laughery Creek Road, where it completely destroyed a house and two outbuildings. Debris from these buildings was strewn east along the path of the tornado across a large field. Based on this damage, estimated wind speeds were around 130 mph in this area, and the damage also resulted in a Tornadic Debris Signature on the Wilmington, Ohio radar at this time.

The tornado continued toward Alta Vista Ave, where a large number of hardwood trees were snapped. The tornado then moved across Laughery Creek and into Switzerland County at 2317EST, about 2.8 miles southeast of Dillsboro. The tornado continued east across Ohio County, eventually moving into Boone County, Kentucky, before dissipating at 2326EST, just across the Ohio River near Belleview Road.

Thunderstorms developed during the evening hours and continued into the overnight hours as a low pressure system moved through the Ohio Valley.
