...NWS Damage Survey for 04/02/2025 Tornado Event Update #8...


.Update...a new storm damage report and high resolution satellite data
was received over the weekend that led to the discovery of a new, short
track tornado northeast of Brownsburg and just north of the main tornado
track. A second damage survey was conducted in this area on Monday
afternoon to confirm the new information and re-evaluate the tornado
paths. The initial damage survey indicated two areas of damage in this
area but the data observed at that time suggested the possibility of two
vortices within the parent circulation. This new information combined
with the secondary survey clearly shows the northwest circulation was
separate from the parent circulation and deviated  north northeast. This
is the new tornado path as identified below.

Survey Summary:
Delayed damage reports as well as access to high resolution
satellite data revealed a second tornado occurred northeast of
Brownsburg, north of the main storm track and initial tornado.
Radar analysis shows several small scale rotational couplets
within the larger mesocyclone that match up with the new track. A
follow up damage survey was also conducted to confirm the
additional damage and refinement of the two separate tornado
tracks. This second tornado began in a field to the west of
county road 1000E...between Shoals Creek road and County road
700N. This starting point is based on satellite data showing
scouring in the field. It then moved east, only bending a
small utility pole before reaching the northwest corner of the
Branches subdivision where several homes sustained roof and
siding damage. This tornado then tracked northeast...crossing
county road 750 north and destroying two older barns and a silo.
Due to the age of these buildings the associated wind speed for
these damage indicators was lowered to high end EF1 category.
Debris was strewn to the northeast about a quarter mile with
high resolution satellite data showing clear ground scouring
and a debris field. The tornado ended in this area.

A detailed ground survey was conducted northeast of this location
through wooded areas and to the east of Interstate 65 where
a semi was rolled and large garage sustained the loss of its roof.
This damage was consistent with straight line winds, likely from the
bowing segment and enhanced by a residual mesovortex that aided in
strengthening the surface winds. Damage to the garage showed a south
facing door being blown in and the south side of the building dented
inward, while the east side of the roof was likely blown off from
this wind that entered the building. A few utility poles were down
in this area but appeared they came down from the roof debris striking
the lines and aided in the snapping of the poles. No other damage to
trees or other structures were found in this region thus it was not
considered to be a tornado.

EF Scale: The Enhanced Fujita Scale classifies tornadoes into the
following categories:

EF0.....65 to 85 mph
EF1.....86 to 110 mph
EF2.....111 to 135 mph
EF3.....136 to 165 mph
EF4.....166 to 200 mph
EF5.....>200 mph
