EF1 tornado in Tippecanoe County, Indiana

A National Weather Service damage survey found the first tornado of the episode was an EF1 with maximum winds of 95 mph and a path length of 2.17 miles, which included both Tippecanoe and Carroll Counties. It began near the intersection of 1025 E and 100 N in far Eastern Tippecanoe county. The roof on the east side of a barn was lifted and thrown about 20 yards to the southeast. Several large branches were broken off trees and thrown to the west and northwest, several being drug along the ground. A small wind mill was knocked down and pointed into the path of the tornado. Several small farm vehicles were moved or overturned. The tornado then appeared to lift briefly but may have occurred again in a field of corn before hitting a barn and house along county

line road, northeast of where it originally began. Here another roof segment was torn off a small barn and tree branches were thrown into the side of a house and a few went through windows. A car was also pulled about 5 feet. Damage at all of the locations impacted was consistent with an EF1 and winds up to 95 mph. The tornado then crossed into Carroll County.

A small vort max sliding through a mildly cyclonic mid-level flow and above a warm frontal zone induced a slow moving supercell in the evening, which spawned an EF1 and an EF0 tornado.
