3 tornadoes confirmed within Huntington County

[00:00:00]Tornadoes continue to be confirmed from the National Weather Service. I'm meteorologist Lance Huffman. Our tornado total in Northeast Indiana has now gone up to six. We've had one tornado confirmed in the Grange and Steuben counties. More information will be coming out on that from the National Weather Service soon. We'll keep you posted on that one. An EF1 tornado in Wabash County, an EF0 tornado in Jay County, and now three additional EF1 tornadoes in Huntington County. Let's talk about these Huntington County tornadoes. The first one we'll discuss is this tornado that touched down near the Huntington and Wabash County line and traveled northeast to the south of Andrews. It started off on the ground at 10:33, lifted at 10:41, so its time on the ground was 8 minutes. Did not injure anyone in its path, but it's got to as wide as 75 yd at one point with peak winds of 95 mph and was on the ground for 5.83 mi. Then after this tornado, another one, a brief one, was on the ground for only a minute to the northeast side of the city of Huntington, just to the east of State Road 9 that you can see there.

[00:01:05]It damaged a home and that's what got it its EF1 rating. Peak winds of 95 mph again, it was not on the ground for too long, less than a mile in terms of its path length. Time was 1 minute with a peak width of there of only 25 yd, but still was certainly enough to cause some damage.

[00:01:24]Our last tornado that we'll talk about was one that touched down in southeast Huntington County. This is to the northwest of Warren and touched down near Pleasant Plain.

[00:01:32]This one touched down from 10:39 and lifted at 10:48.

[00:01:36]It traveled to the east and northeast and as it did so, it caused some EF1 damage there. Peak winds of 95 mph as well, peak width of 50 yd.

[00:01:47]It was on the ground for almost 8 mi as you see there. It actually crossed I-69 and then lifted it to the southwest of Plum Tree towards that 10:48 time frame. And there may be additional storm surveys from the National Weather Service over these coming days, but again, our tornado total has now gone up to six in regards to the swath of storms that we saw burst through the area on Thursday night.
