| March 2025 | Tornado (EF1) | Hudsonville | $800,000 | The tornado had peaked at EF2 intensity when first tracking through Gibson County and Pike County in far southwestern Indiana, before crossing the East Fork White River and continuing roughly the last half of its overall track within Daviess County and Martin County. The tornado skipped northeast through these two counties, ending south-southwest of the Indian Springs community. The most significant damage was to a farm at County Road 100 South and County Road 1025 East in Daviess County, which sustained damage consistent with winds around 100 mph. Several metal farm outbuildings were damaged, a piece of a wooden 2-by-4 beam was thrown southeast and driven through the windshield of a semi truck, and two large grain bins were completely destroyed when torn apart, with their debris thrown at least a mile northeast.||Other portions of the tornado's path displayed mainly snapped and uprooted trees, and minor superficial home damage to roofs and siding. Widespread straight line wind damage also occurred to the west and east of the tornado's circulation from thunderstorm outflow winds and the forward flank downdraft to the east of tornado path. This straight line damage continued through Loogootee. The tornado continued further into central Martin County, producing sporadic damage in rural areas northeast of Loogootee, before doing more significant damage to two farmsteads near Killion Mill Road and additional damage near Wadsworth Lane. Maximum winds were estimated at 110 mph for this Daviess-Martin County segment of the tornado's track. |
