EF1 tornado in Washington County, Indiana

This is the final stretch of the tornado that originated in Orange County, 3.1 miles northwest of Saltillo. After clipping the extreme southeast portion of Lawrence County, it entered Washington County just south of East County Road 700 North and tracked northeastward for another 1.2 miles before dissipating at Spangler Hill Road. It caused EF-1 damage to numerous trees before lifting. The tornado's total path length was 3.2 miles.

Warm humid air in place across the Lower Ohio Valley ahead of deep closed low over Missouri led to widespread severe weather across the lower Missouri Valley and Indiana. A squall line developed across southern Illinois and western Kentucky during the afternoon hours on May 25th and raced across southern Indiana at around 45 mph during the evening and early morning hours on the 26th. Widespread wind damage was reported with frequent reports of 60 to 70 mph winds. A bow echo brought several embedded tornadoes across Dubois, Orange, and Washington counties in southern Indiana.
