Overview

Three rain wrapped tornadoes occurred over eastern portions of Morgan county on 7/29/2018 late in the afternoon.  All three were rated EF2.  In addition the storms were accompanied by straight line winds of 60 to 80 mph with up to 100 mph in a few locations.  Furthermore wind driven hail up to baseball size also occurred.  As a result this led to widespread crop and property damage across eastern Morgan county (shaded red area) which extended into western portions of Washington county as well.
