| June 2015 | Tornado (EF1) | English Lake | - | A NWS storm survey confirmed an EF-1 tornado embedded within in sporadic wind damage. The tornado touched down in the vicinity of the 6350 block of County Road 400 South and continued east-northeast to the 6250 block of County Road 400 South where four to five dozen trees were either uprooted or snapped. There were no trees left standing in the front yard of this residence. The tornado dissipated shortly after as it turned towards the northwest and continued into the field to the north. The extensive damage in this isolated area was likely associated with the slow forward motion of this tornado as well as wet sandy soil in the area. The tornado was on the ground for around two tenths of a mile with a maximum width of 100 yards and maximum estimated wind speeds of around 95 mph. |
