| August 2016 | Tornado (EF1) | Middlebury | - | An NWS survey, combined with eyewitness reports and an aerial survey by Emergency Management indicated a funnel cloud was skipping along this path and occasionally touching down. First touchdown was in a corn field just west of a residence on Convoy Heller Road. Several trees were uprooted and snapped off while some roof and siding damage occurred to a home. A large two-story garage/barn had mud thrown onto the eastern side of the building. A window was broken inward while a vent on the building was blown outward. The tornado continued skipping northeast hitting a large barn on US highway 224. The roof of this building was blown off to the north and witnessed by a homeowner. The tornado continued skipping northeast, knocking down trees including a large pine tree in a cemetery. Several small grave stones were also moved. Maximum winds were estimated at around 100 mph. |
