Over a dozen structures had minor to moderate damage with the worst damage being two destroyed mobile homes and a garage being destroyed. Dozens of hardwood trees were either snapped off or uprooted. |
| 18:24Z | EF2 | KIWX | IN | Delaware | Eaton | A long track, EF2 tornado, with winds estimated at 134 mph, started northeast of Eaton in Delaware County then traveled into Blackford County and then into Ohio. Mainly tree damage in Delaware County until the Delaware-Blackford County border, where a Quonset hut was collapsed. Several tractors and a vintage Harley Davidson were inside and heavily damaged. Winds in this location before pushing into Blackford County were estimated at 120 mph. More significant damage was done farther north along the path. |
| 18:36Z | EF2 | KIWX | IN | Blackford | Millgrove | The tornado crossed out of Delaware county, into Blackford county, at the intersection of E County Road 1300 N and S County Road 600 E, impacting several structures and trees on the northeast and southeast side of the intersection. Two homes suffered roof damage, with a garage being destroyed, likely due to winds into the garage door side. A middle aged female resident suffered minor injuries when debris from a south facing window and front door impacted her. The tornado did appear to weaken or possibly cycle as it approached the Jay county line with only minor damage noted to some trees. The circulation appeared to cross the county line (State Route 167), north of W County Road 300 S near Big Lick Creek. Maximum winds were estimated in this portion of the tornado at between 110 and 120 mph and was therefore rates a EF2 in Blackford county. |
| 18:43Z | EF2 | KIWX | IN | Jay | Dunkirk | The tornado crossed into Jay county north of W County Road 300 S near Big Lick Creek. Damage was somewhat sporadic from north of Dunkirk to northwest of Portland before the tornado intensified per video footage with indications of multiple vortex development at its peak. Numerous farm structures were severely damaged or destroyed with several homes suffering varying degrees of damage up to loss of a second floor. A manufactured home on N County Road 550 E was picked up and rotated clockwise, then placed back down with part of the house still on the southeast corner of the foundation. A male teenager was in the basement when it occurred but was not injured. The home was treated as a DI of FR12 due to being removed from its trailer and extra reinforcement done to the 2 halves when it was assembled. A man and his son were in a barn when it was struck by the tornado. Several hundred bales of hay fell onto them trapping them until they could find a escape route. They suffered minor injuries and were treated at the scene. The tornado did weaken as it approached and eventually crossed into Mercer County (Ohio) and into the Wilmington Ohio forecast area, north of St Anthony Road. Maximum wind speeds are estimated between 130 and 135 mph. |
| 19:18Z | EF2 | KIWX | OH | Mercer | Padua | This tornado developed in Delaware County, Indiana, near the town of Eaton and then moved across Blackford and Jay Counties in Indiana before crossing into Mercer County, Ohio at 1418EST near the intersection of St. Anthony Road and County Road 235 (see Storm data for Indiana, Central and Northeast, for more information on the beginning portion of this tornado in Indiana). The tornado traveled northeast in Mercer County for just more than 8 miles before terminating in a wooded area north of Carmel Church Road and west of Now Road. A few pieces of light debris were carried slightly further to the northeast, but the tornado is not believed to have been on the ground east of Now Road.||The vast majority of the surveyed path in Mercer County contained damage consistent with winds of 60 to 100 MPH, including scattered tree damage, significant damage or destruction of outbuildings, and minor damage to well-built homes. In all, 20 to 25 different properties were affected by this tornado in Mercer County.||Damage was determined to be most significant at two different locations along the track, with wind speeds estimated at 120 MPH, or EF2 on the Enhanced Fujita Scale. The first of these locations was a dairy farm on State Route 49 north of St. Anthony Road. At this location, a small home had its roof completely removed, with the removal and collapse of some exterior walls. It was noted that while some walls were collapsed, toe nailing was the primary anchoring mechanism for the roof and walls on this home. Barns and outbuildings on the property were significantly damaged or destroyed and debris from this location was deposited up to a mile downstream.||The second location exhibiting EF2-rated damage was at a property on Mud Pike Road just east of Township Line Road. Here, a well-built residence had the majority of its roof removed, including the entirety of the garage roof. Sections of brick facade were removed from the exterior walls of the home, with significant mud splatter on the east-facing exterior wall. A large well-constructed barn adjacent to this home was completely demolished, with debris thrown about a mile downstream of its source location.||Throughout its track across Mercer County, this tornado exhibited a large and relatively uniform width, with damage observed that indicated a width of near or slightly greater than three tenths of a mile. Some minor damage was even observed outside of this estimated width. Downstream of some of the affected properties, debris fields were observed to be long, wide, and relatively uniform. |

This tornado was on the ground for just over a mile and a quarter and had a path up to 50 yards in width. No injuries were reported. |
| 19:40Z | EF2 | KILN | OH | Mercer | Celina | Law enforcement initially observed a funnel cloud near the intersection of Main Street and Schunk Road in Celina. Just to the northeast of this report is where it appears the tornado first touched down, where multiple tree limbs were knocked down between Main Street and W Bank Road.||It is believed that the tornado then skirted Grand Lake St. Marys, producing minor tree and structural damage near the corner of Lake Shore Drive and Elmgrove Avenue. The tornado then likely moved back over a small portion of Grand Lake St. Marys before knocking down a fence and a few small trees at the back parking lot of a Wendy's restaurant on E Market Street. A one story home on Vine Street also had shingles removed from about 10 percent of its roof. ||Further east on E Market Street, the tornado intensified as it impacted Lakeshore Auto Sales. This business had its roof completely destroyed. Along Lake Street, several large branches were knocked down on one property, with significant debris splatter on the east-facing side of a home along with some removal of siding.||Further east on E Market Street, another business had a significant portion of its roof removed, and windows at the front of the business were broken. On the 1100 block of E Livingston Street, tree damage was common and several of the homes also exhibited minor roof damage. One of the homes also had one large hardwood tree knocked down onto its second floor, producing significant roof damage. ||To the northeast, an outbuilding associated with a business on Grand Lake Road was completely destroyed. On the other side of Grand Lake Road, significant debris wrapped around a fence on Montgomery Field. Trees were also uprooted on adjacent May Street.||The most significant damage was then observed beginning at Crown Equipment Corporation. A significant portion of the roof was removed, and exterior walls on the southwest side of the building also collapsed. Damage was also noted on the east-facing side of the building. ||Businesses along Havermann Road were also affected, most notably C-Town Wings, where the front windows were blown out, and the Dollar General store which sustained considerable structural damage, including roof collapse and exterior wall failure. Observed damage from the Crown Equipment Corporation to the Dollar General store was consistent with EF2 tornadic winds.||Several businesses within a strip mall along Havermann Road also sustained some damage, particularly a sports store where the front doors were blown in and a portion of the roof collapsed into the store. ||Damage to the northeast of the strip mall became more sparse, however some trees were downed near the intersection of Howick Road and Riley Road. The end of the tornado appears to have occurred near the 8000 block of Riley Road. |
