EF1 Tornado — Carroll, Indiana

2021-06-25 · near Pyrmont, Carroll, Indiana

Event narrative

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. Upon the tornado crossing into Carroll County, a farm on the east side of County Line Road had a barn roof lifted and the west wall collapsed. The tornado continued on a northeast path to just north of the intersection of county road 700 S and 800 W where another farm was hit with the roof and sides of two barns thrown to the north and west. This appears to be where this tornado ended. Damage at both of these locations was consistent with an EF1 and winds up to 95

mph.

Wider weather episode

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.
