We were just missed by a tornado on Tuesday afternoon. The path was just south of our house. If you zoom in on the map (five times, to be exact), our neighborhood is at the corner of Carroll and Bethel Roads (Tapered Bank Run), at the far right end of the red line. We had lawn chairs all over our yard. Emma's swing set was actually airborne before it started blowing around the yard. We are still missing one of our recycle bins. I heard the sirens blow but they shut off just a quickly as they had begun. The house is fine and so are we. We are feeling very fortunate.
High End EF0 Tornado in Whitley County 7/8/2008
A National Weather Service damage survey team was dispatched to Whitley and Allen Counties in Indiana to determine the extent of damage sustained in Tuesday's severe thunderstorms. A swath of scattered wind damage was found to extend from near South Whitley to near Wallen, or just northwest of Fort Wayne. Embedded in this swath of wind damage was a small EF0 tornado that removed a barn roof and deposited it 200 to 300 yards away in a soybean field. In this field, a narrow path of soybeans was completely scoured and nearby trees were snapped off and uprooted. This damage was consistent with winds of 75 mph and the convergent pattern indicated these winds were produced by an EF0 tornado. Below is a map of the damage. The map can be zoomed in and the placemarks can be clicked for more information. When zoomed in, the path of the tornado can be seen by the purple line north of Lincolnway.
