| June 2024 | Tornado (EF1) | Reilly | - | An EF-1 tornado touched down about 3.5 miles south of East Lynn along E 3800 North Road, where it completely destroyed seven grain bins and tossed the debris for about a half mile to the east-northeast. A couple power poles were snapped at that location as well. The tornado moved to the east-northeast as it damaged trees, home siding, and the roof of an outbuilding along N 770 East Road. The tornado then progressed in a more northerly direction as it damaged some trees at a residence about a half mile to the north, before dissipating in the field to the northeast after being on the ground for a total of two minutes. |
