| 20:12Z | EF2 | KIND | IN | Johnson | Bluff Creek | A rotating supercell thunderstorm spawned the tornado just west of the intersection of Travis and Mullinix Roads. Moving east, it intensified quickly while producing mainly high-end EF1 damage (winds up to 110 mph) near and around this intersection, with bricks blown off of a large house, roof damage, a trailer moved into an adjacent yard, trees snapped, and a few snapped power poles. Spotty low-end EF-2 (up to 115 mph) damage was also probable here.||The tornado continued east and went through parts of the Kensington Grove subdivision causing substantial roof damage to some homes while several trees were downed and snapped, indicative of EF1 intensity (95-110 mph). The tornado continued east through the Waters Edge neighborhood and over the area's pond while maintaining EF1 strength (90-100 mph). The tornado continued past the Old Marsh by Indiana Route 135, just before impacting portions of an apartment complex under construction. Here the roof was torn off the length of one of the apartment buildings while many windows were broken and even a few pieces of debris were impaled into the ground, indicative of low-end EF2 winds (115 mph).||The tornado then started to turn southeast and pass over an open field where a narrow debris swath was deposited. In this area the tornado may have skipped off the surface a bit. The tornado then came down and snapped and uprooted numerous trees along West County Road 600 North just south of the Restoration Church. More high-end EF1 damage was evident here (100-110 mph). The tornado lifted about 1500 feet southeast of the church. |
| 20:21Z | EF1 | KVWX | IN | Daviess | Odon | A supercell thunderstorm spawned this second tornado of the day just northeast of the intersection of County Roads 1100 East and 1575 North. The weak tornado then tracked in an east to east-southeasterly direction occasionally downing trees. Scores of hardwood trees were snapped, many at mid trunk, on a hilltop just west of US Highway 231. The tornado continued across the highway and soon after into northwestern Martin County, before ending within the grounds of Crane Naval Support Activity about one mile west-southwest of the southwest corner of Lake Greenwood. |
| 20:27Z | EF1 | KVWX | IN | Martin | Crane | Continuation of EF1 supercell tornado from northeastern Daviess County. The tornado continued onto far northwestern portions of Crane Naval Surface Warfare Center's grounds, snapping hardwood trees in a non-continuous path, before lifting about a mile west of Lake Greenwood's southwest corner. |
| 20:30Z | EF1 | KIND | IN | Monroe | Stanford | A supercell thunderstorm spawned this third tornado of the day, which would track across far southwestern Monroe County, for its first 3 miles in a mainly easterly direction, before turning more east-southeasterly along the track's final 1.5 miles. The tornado inflicted a combination of EF0 and EF1 intensity damage. Strongest winds were estimated at 100 mph over latter portions of the track, both where the tornado turned right and again when impacting a home shortly after crossing South Rockport Road.||The tornado began as an EF0 on the south side of West Carmichael Road, about 1500 feet west-northwest of the intersection of West Carmichael Road and West Rock East Road; here it damaged multiple outbuildings and a barn. About a half mile of EF1 intensity damage then occurred along West Rock East Road including multiple trees snapped at the trunk. Near the midpoint of the track upon crossing South Lee Phillips Road, the tornado caused isolated tree and home damage including uprooted a hardwood tree and blowing out a window. 0.9 miles later the tornado reached peak intensity over a slight rise of ground, with winds snapping trees, destroying a wood-anchored shed, and bending an anchored steel plate. The tornado then turned to the east-southeast, and again exhibited peak intensity upon crossing South Rockport Road where a well-built barn was partially destroyed and a 2-story home sustained extensive roof damage. For the final 0.8 miles of its track, the tornado roughly paralleled South Rockport Road while occasionally snapping pine trees, before ending about 4 miles west of the western end of Monroe Lake. |
| 20:34Z | EF2 | KVWX | IN | Martin | Hindostan Falls | A supercell thunderstorm spawned this fourth and final tornado of the day, which tracked in an overall east-southeastern direction across primarily far southern Martin County, before entering northeastern Dubois County for its final 1 mile. The tornado's intensity varied from EF0/EF1 damage along its first 3 miles, to EF1/EF2 impacts amid its middle 3.5 miles, with a slight weakening to EF1 damage seen after leaving Martin County. The tornado also turned to a more southeasterly track for a 2 mile segment within its most intense portion.||The tornado touched down on elevated ground about 250 feet west of Haw Creek Road (just northeast of straight line wind damage that occurred further southwest along the road), causing EF1 damage to a home, ripping off the roof while destroying the 2-car garage. The tornado then crossed the East Fork White River and surrounding lowlands before producing EF1 damage to numerous trees along Jackman Hill Road. The circulation strengthened to EF2 intensity as it crossed the Lost River, snapping scores of hardwood trees. EF2 damage was also inflicted to a home along Windom Road between River Road and Ridge Road, collapsing all but one exterior wall; winds associated with the tornado lifted the structure from under the elevated patio's decking with some 2x4's sticking vertically upwards, which caused the eventual collapse of the structure; one fatality and one serious injury were reported at this home.||The tornado turned southeasterly upon crossing Windom Road before producing widespread tree damage along Blue Creek Lane where multiple trunks were snapped and uprooted. The tornado continued towards Simmons Creek Road producing widespread tree damage over elevated terrain just north of the road. Damage was also reported to a structure north of Simmons Creek Road. The tornado then turned back to an east-southeasterly heading, yet began to weaken as it paralleled Simmons Creek. The tornado crossed into Dubois County near Butler Bridge Road. |
| 20:45Z | EF1 | KLVX | IN | Dubois | Hillham | The tornado started just west of Haw Creek Road in southern Martin County. While in Martin County the tornado traveled around 8 miles to the East-Southeast and produced EF2 damage. Once the tornado crossed into Dubois County, it began to weaken. It snapped and uprooted trees. The tornado lifted just before North 960 East in Dubois County. |
| 21:19Z | EF1 | KLZK | AR | Pope | Scottsville | This tornado started just northwest of the intersection of Buck Mountain Road and Arkansas Highway 27, northeast of Dover. This tornado moved southeast along Buck Mountain Road before lifting west of the Esserman Lane. Tree damage was the primary damage with this tornado, with some trees uprooted to the northwest and some southeast in a converging pattern. This tornado had maximum estimated winds of 100 mph and was rated an EF1. |
| 22:37Z | EFU | KLZK | AR | Pulaski | Marche | A few photos of a tornado, all approximately co-located, is likely the only documentation we will have of a tornado that occurred near much stronger and impactful straight line wind damage. The tornado most likely occurred over a remote, heavily treed area within Camp Robinson. Due to widespread wind damage from 80+ mph winds in the area, the damage associated with the weaker spin-off tornado in not detectable. This brief tornado will be classified as an EF-U due to a lack of surveyable evidence. It was likely active for less than one minute. |
| 02:27Z | EF2 | KLVX | KY | Hardin | Franklin Xrds | A narrow, but powerful, EF-2 tornado developed quickly in the Cecilia area late Sunday evening, as a cluster of thunderstorms briefly interacted with an east-west oriented outflow boundary from earlier storm activity. The storm first caused tree damage along Long Grove Rd near Tabb Rd. A property near this intersection had several trees uprooted and snapped as well as limbs down. On the south side of Tabb Rd. roofing material from the northern side landed on that property. An RV that had been along a row of trees south of Tabb Rd was forced onto its side as well.||The tornado continued southeast across cropland. Drone footage indicated a nice swath of damage in the corn. The tornado then affected two homes on the end of Basham Lane. The first house had a carport thrown to the right of the track into an open field. An AC unit was flipped on its side at the house and a brick facade wall came off the house structure. Farther southeast, the strongest winds occurred as the tornado pulled up the wide front porch of a house and then peeled the roof back. Parts of the roof landed upstream of where the tornado caused the damage. A gazebo behind the house was thrown in a counter clockwise fashion back to the other side of the house. Two parked trucks were shifted from their location as well. Damage continued in the corn field southeast of property, with drone footage indicating some jagged movement of the tornado on the ground.||It continued just past another row of trees where it impacted a barn before the tornado lifted.||The survey drove to several other sites across the county...along Black Branch, Hayden School, Rineyville, and Locust Grove roads. The rest of the damage had trees falling generally toward the south, in line with straight lined winds on the order of 80-90 mph. |
| 04:25Z | EF1 | KLVX | KY | Russell | Jamestown | A tornado touched down just east of US 127, north of Woolen Mill Road, in an area of mostly open fields with patches of trees along fence rows. Damage could be seen in the tree tops lowering until reaching the ground. The tornado moved eastward towards |West Cumberland Avenue in western Jamestown. While plowing through clusters of trees, tree damage was highly focused with many mature healthy trees being snapped. As the tornado approached a set of apartment buildings on the 1100 block of West Cumberland Avenue, views from an aerial drone showed heavy tree damage with trees falling in several directions. A roof from one of the buildings blew off to a southwest direction. A large window from across the street at the auto museum got sucked out and ended up in the roadway. To the north, large sections of the roof at Jamestown Auto Sales got peeled back from the northwest to the southeast. ||The main tornado track continued east while a small suction vortex fed into the main rotation near Telephone Drive. Along Telephone Drive, a large tree was uprooted and fell to the southeast while two well built buildings had their gable porch roofs blown to the north. One remained attached to the roof while the other was blown to the northeast over the building, coming to rest behind C&W Auto Parts which had its own |southeast facing window blown out. All three of these buildings had mud splattered on their southeast facing exterior wall. ||Farther east in the main tornado track, the tornado damaged a large area of the Carpet Center's roof. Just to the south, a single family home had half of its roof blown off. To the north and east of the Carpet Center, the strongest damage was done at a residence. A garage made out of cinder blocks was completely leveled by 110 mph winds on two sides while the other two sides saw nothing remain above the windows. Every tree in the area was severely damaged. Multiple trees fell on the house and the |owners vehicles. A limb of a tree punched through the wall and was in the house. Multiple large trees continued to get uprooted as the tornado traveled eastward before lifting near Brown Road. |
