Strong storms that blew through Northern Indiana on Friday, July 20 produced two tornadoes – one was in Marshall County.
According to the National Weather Service, a weak tornado that measured EF-0 on the Fujita Scale was confirmed. It began about 5.9 miles southwest of Bremen and traveled a half of a mile before ending two minutes later. Peak wind gusts were measured at 70 mph.
National Weather Service officials said it was a disorganized tornado that touched down at 1:53 p.m. southwest of the intersection of County Road 6B and Ironwood Road in Marshall County. Drone pictures found a damaged barn, corn down in a semi convergent pattern and broken tree limbs along the Isaac Sells Ditch. That’s there the tornado lifted, as outlined in the NWS report.
The other confirmed tornado was in Wabash Valley.
