On April 25, 1961, at least one powerful F4 tornado swept across portions of east central Indiana. Touching down in Shelby county a few miles north of Shelbyville, this tornado passed over I-74 with eyewitnesses reporting multiple vorticies. The tornado destroyed barns and homes in Shelby and Rush counties. Additional heavy damage occurred near the town of Boston where homes were destroyed. The tornado eventually passed into Ohio. Several people were injured but fortunately there were no fatalities.
This event may have actually been two separate tornadoes but it is not clear.
