EF-0 North of Salem
The National Weather Service confirmed a 4th tornado and the 2nd in Indiana from the storms that moved through on Friday.
Yesterday they confirmed a EF-0 struck just North of Salem just after 2pm.
This very small, skipping tornado did its damage primarily on hilltops between Sparks Ferry Road and the intersection of State Road 135 and Lewellen Road North of Salem.
A few tree limbs and a small fence were downed near Sparks Ferry Road before it moved northeast over a large wooded area and open farmland.
The next damage was concentrated about a quarter of a miles south of Water Tower Road, just west of Highway 135. Here the tornado tore multiple metal roof panels off a barn, blew the southward-facing overhead doors of a garage in, and tore the entrance door off the garage out on the west side. The attached home sustained considerable siding and room damage. A small play shed on the west side of the home was destroyed, with the debris blown to the west-northwest. Debris from the barn and home were scattered in a narrow path through row crops up to a third of a mile to the northeast, where a resident witnessed large sheets of roofing and siding fall into a hay field on the north side of Lewellen Road.
A corn field on the south side of Lewellen Road showed cyclonic rotation in a narrow path of flattened corn.
