NWS Confirms Tornadoes In Hendricks And Putnam Counties
The NWS in Indianapolis has confirmed 2 tornadoes occurred during the early morning hours of May 21:
A NWS Indianapolis storm damage survey today identified at least one weak tornado occurring west of Brownsburg near North Salem in the storms early Tuesday morning. Toppled trees, snapped limbs, and damage to a barn revealed evidence of rotation in the winds and damage consistent with an EF0 tornado with winds up to 85 mph. The tornado occurred around 2:40 A.M. May 21 and was part of a large line of storms that swept across central Indiana overnight causing sporadic damage in many areas.
Surveying in the Roachdale area north of Greencastle also yielded evidence of an EF0 tornado. This occurred around 2:30 A.M. just south of Roachdale where barn, shed and tree damage were observed suggesting rotating winds of up to 85 mph. This tornado was on the ground for less than a quarter mile.
