...NWS Damage Survey for 06/25/2021 and 06/26/2021 Tornadoes...

.OVERVIEW...

On the evening of June 25, 2021, a thunderstorm in Iroquois 
County, IL went on to produce a multi-vortex EF-1 tornado that 
caused damage in and near the town of Danforth. The following day 
on June 26th, additional thunderstorms formed across the region 
and produced three EF-0 tornadoes in the NWS Chicago county 
warning area: one that touched down in Dyer, IN and tracked east- 
northeastward into Schererville, one that moved through Crete, IL,
and another that impacted Chatsworth, IL. Most of the damage 
caused by these tornadoes was confined to tree damage and minor 
structural damage.


.Danforth Tornado... 

Rating:					EF-1 
Estimated peak wind:	95 mph 
Path length /Statute/:	1.5 miles

An NWS storm survey team determined that an EF-1 tornado with 
peak estimated wind speeds of 95 mph touched down approximately 1 
mile southwest of Danforth. The tornado crossed Interstate 57 and 
caused minor damage to trees, houses, and a grain silo before 
lifting shortly after it entered the southwest side of Danforth.

Note: Video shows this tornado to have multiple vortices but the 
ground survey could not identify separate tracks so the maximum 
width was estimated off of the primary vortex track.
