The tornado entered Bourbon and reached peak intensity on the northeast side of town in the area of Crocus Ct and Rose Lane where several homes suffered extensive roof damage. Debris was thrown into the field. Many homes showed garage doors being compromised, lowering potentially higher wind speeds. The tornado continued out of town, producing sporadic tree and power pole damage until reaching north of Etna Green in Kosciusko county where the damage ended. .Adams County, IN Tornado #1...

Reports from a local provided evidence of several Amish properties that had sustained roof damage were already repaired early in the day.

Damage assessments from Adams County Emergency Management along with an NWS ground survey found evidence consistent with an EF- 1 tornado with max estimated wind speeds of 90-95 mph that moved along E 400 S near Monroe, IN. The tornado began by damaging pole- barns and poultry farms before removing the roof off of a mobile home at the corner of S 600 E and E 400 S. It then took a slightly northern turn and impacted another older pole barn, tossing a grain silo up to 1/2mi away. The tornado impacted another farm, collapsing the westward extend of the structure and reaching max intensity here. The tornado dissipated before it reached the Mercer county line. .Van Wert, OH Tornado... Rating: EF1 Estimated Peak Wind: 95 mph Path Length /statute/: 12.61 miles Path Width /maximum/: 300 yards Fatalities: 0 Injuries: 0 Start Date: 04/02/2025 Start Time: 11:04 PM EDT Start Location: 2 ESE Van Wert / Van Wert County / OH Start Lat/Lon: 40.8503 / -84.5537 End Date: 04/02/2025 End Time: 11:13 PM EDT End Location: 2 NW Ottoville / Putnam County / OH End Lat/Lon: 40.957 / -84.3606 Survey Summary: A tornado touched down on the southeast side of Van Wert, OH where tree and shingle damage occurred before the tornado destroyed a two-story barn structure. The tornado might have briefly skipped as it traversed to the northeast before causing noticeable damage on Lincoln Hwy. The tornado then caused some minor damage to a deer farm before destroying a pole barn. The last noticeable damage occurred just northwest of Ottoville. As this tornado dissipated, another tornado formed off just to its north. .Dupont, OH Tornado... Rating: EF2 Estimated Peak Wind: 120 mph Path Length /statute/: 4.51 miles Path Width /maximum/: 375 yards Fatalities: 0 Injuries: 2 Start Date: 04/02/2025 Start Time: 11:18 PM EDT Start Location: 1 NE Mandale / Paulding County / OH Start Lat/Lon: 41.0261 / -84.3477 End Date: 04/02/2025 End Time: 11:22 PM EDT End Location: 1 NE Dupont / Putnam County / OH End Lat/Lon: 41.0679 / -84.2831 Survey Summary: A second tornado spun up north of the decaying Van Wert tornado, touching down in far southeast Paulding County. The tornado severely damaged a pole barn as it moved into Putnam county. The tornado rapidly moved northeast, hitting a well anchored mobile homed and flipping it 60 feet away. Three occupants were in the mobile home and two of them sustained minor injuries. It is here that the tornado peaked at an EF-2 with an estimated wind speed of 120 mph. The tornado destroyed another well-anchored 60x120 ft pole barn, throwing its debris onto the bank of the Auglaize River. To the northeast, it directly hit the town of Dupont where it did widespread EF-0 to EF-1 damage throughout. The tornado damaged several large corn silos (one that was full of corn had the ground anchor bolts break from uplift). It is near here where the visible damage stopped. && EF Scale: The Enhanced Fujita Scale classifies tornadoes into the following categories: EF0.....65 to 85 mph EF1.....86 to 110 mph EF2.....111 to 135 mph EF3.....136 to 165 mph EF4.....166 to 200 mph EF5.....>200 mph NOTE: The information in this statement is preliminary and subject to change pending final review of the events and publication in NWS Storm Data. $$
