Survey Summary:
The tornado started just west of Haw Creek Road in southern
Martin County producing EF1 damage to a home with destruction of
atwo car garage and roof ripped off of the home. The tornado
continued to move ESE crossing the White River and producing
EF1 damage to numerous trees along Jackman Hill Road. The tornado
strengthened as it moved SE towards Windom Road where it produced
damage consistent with an EF2 to a home along Windom Road between
River Road and Ridge Road. Only one exterior wall of the home
remained standing with the rest collapsed. Winds associated the
tornado are believed to have gotten under the patio decking and
lifted the structure as some 2x4s were shown to be sticking
vertically upwards. This likely caused the eventual collapse of
the structure. One fatality and one injury were reported at this
home. 

The tornado began to turn more to the SE producing
widespread tree damage along Blue Creek Lane with multiple trunks
snapped anduprooted. The tornado continued SE towards Simmons
Creek Road producing widespread tree damage just north of Simmons
Creek Road.Damage was reported to a structure north of Simmons
Creek Road but we were unable to inspect the damage due to trees
blocking roads. At this point the tornado continued ESE but began
to weakenas it entered Dubois County where some tree damage in
the form ofsnapped trunks and uprooted trees were observed. The
tornado lifted just before N 960 E in Dubois County.
