| April 2025 | Tornado (EF1) | Fishersburg | $400,000 | This seventh tornado to impact central Indiana was the second of five tornadoes spawned within Madison County and Delaware County. This longer track tornado sliced across west-central and central Madison County, from a field just north of Fishersburg to near the community of Prosperity, about four miles north of Anderson. The circulation tracked to the northeast until after crossing the White River when it tracked in a north-northeasterly direction. At a farm north-northeast of Fishersburg several barns and a grain silo sustained damage, with an L-shaped poll barn destroyed. Wind from the circulation blew in a south-facing garage door, then lifted the roof which collapsed walls. Sporadic damage occurred along the remaining 10.5 miles of the vortex's path. Peak wind gusts were 110 mph. |
