Indiana’s Strongest Tornado in Two Years

A powerful EF3 tornado tore through Owen and Monroe counties, packing winds up to 140 mph and leaving a trail of destruction over 18 miles long. After reevaluating satellite imagery due to inaccessible damage zones, officials upgraded it from an EF2. Owen County took the brunt, with trees snapped like twigs and homes crushed, while Morgan County saw roofs ripped off and a mobile home obliterated. This marks Indiana’s strongest tornado in two years — matching the March 2024 Winchester EF3 that killed one and injured others. With 72 confirmed tornadoes this year, Indiana ties its all-time record set in 2011 — proving 2024 is shaping up as one of the most turbulent weather years on record.
