EF1 tornado in Washington County, Indiana

This tornado snapped and uprooted numerous trees along its 2.4 mile path. After touching down just east of the Lawrence/Washington County line south of W Saltillo Bono Rd, it downed several trees while moving over mainly open pasture land. Near the intersection of N Spangler Hill Rd and W Henry Brown Rd, it heavily damaged a metal outbuilding. From here it continued northeast, downing numerous trees and power lines as it roughly paralleled N Spangler Hill Rd through forested hills before dissipating near the intersection of N Spangler Hill Rd and N White River Rd.

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.
