Survey Summary:
A survey of damage confirmed a EF0 tornado touched down east of
CR N 25 W, south of Pleasant Hill Rd where an outbuilding in a
wooded area was flipped from north to south against a tree and
some debris thrown to the southwest. The tornado reached peak
intensity at the intersection of Meridian and Pleasant Hill Rd
where one of two older barns suffered extensive damage. The
majority of the barn remained at the site, but roof and siding
materials were visible across fields and in trees into Fulton
county. Four of eight center pivot spans were flipped near the
damaged barn. The tornado crossed S 1000 E, E 350 S and S 1075 E
before dissipating with mainly tree damage observed. 

.Logansport IN Wind Damage

NWS and EMA officials completed a survey of damage near and
northeast of the Cass County Airport in Logansport, IN. Video
footage of a funnel was received from EMA southwest of 
Logansport, but the damage found in the area was inconclusive
regarding whether a tornado touched down and will thus be ruled as
straight line winds. Additional details on maximum wind speeds and
locations will come this evening.
