April 17, 1922 Tornadoes

On April 17, 1922, multiple killer tornadoes struck Indiana.  One tornado nearly destroyed the tiny Warren county community of Hedrick before moving through Williamsport.  Another killer tornado struck Tipton and Madison counties, doing significant damage near Orestes.  Seventeen people died in all.

Here are the 500 mb and surface maps from that day.
