EF1 tornado in Clark County, Indiana

A small tornado touched down in the backyard of a home about a quarter mile west from the caution light on Indiana Highway 60 and uprooted trees and caused roof damage to the home. The tornado moved along Muddy Fork and snapped or uprooted numerous trees. Then the tornado crossed Indiana Highway 60 where it was witnessed by people in the Buckboard Diner. Next, the tornado removed the roof of the older building next to the cafe and a garage behind the cafe. It threw its debris into a small church and removed some of its roof. No other damage in the narrow path was seen beyond this point.

The combination of a moist and unseasonably warm air mass and an approaching low pressure system and cold front brought multiple rounds of severe weather to southern Indiana during the early morning hours on March 1. In the end, there were 5 tornadoes across southern Indiana, the strongest being an EF-2 that tracked through portions of Dubois County. In addition to the tornadoes, there were several areas of intense straight-line winds estimated up to 100 mph in places. The impacts included numerous areas of structural damage and downed trees. The widespread heavy rain brought the Muscatatuck River at Deputy into minor flood.
