Episode Narrative A powerful storm system pushed across the region on the evening of the 19th of April. Severe thunderstorms developed and moved across the area. These evening storms brought widespread wind damage, heavy rain, and a couple of tornadoes. Five tornadoes touched down in central Indiana from this event. Heavy rainfall also caused pockets of flash flooding to occur.
Event Narrative An EF-1 tornado touched down at 9:10PM EDT in central Vermillion County and traveled northeast through northwest Parke, southeast Fountain, and west-central Montgomery Counties. This tornado formed 2.72 miles southwest of Cayuga and tracked northeast for approximately 4 miles before exiting Vermillion County about 2.36 miles east, southeast of Cayuga at 9:16PM EDT. The tornado continued northeast into Parke County, around 1.51 miles west of Waterman, for another 8.6 miles before leaving the county 3.53 miles northeast of Sylvania at 9:22PM EDT. The tornado continued northeast into Fountain County, around 1.69 miles east, southeast of Kingman, for another 9.3 miles before pushing into Montgomery County at 9:32PM EDT, 2.75 miles northwest of Alamo, for another 9.23 miles and dissipating about 1.89 miles northwest of Crawfordsville at 9:40PM EDT. Multiple trees and power lines were reported down along the path, as well as siding and shingles ripped off homes. A shed was destroyed in Vermillion County and another structure sustained damage in Parke County. The tornado was rated an EF-1 along most of its path, except in Montgomery County where EF-0 damage was found. The maximum width along the path was 100 yards.
