Survey Summary:
The statement provides the final information on the previously
confirmed EF0 tornado southwest of Napoleon Indiana. Damage from
the tornado was first noted west of North County Road 600 West,
where trees, outbuildings, and one home were damaged. As the
tornado continued northeast toward Napoleon, a few outbuildings were
damaged south of West County Road 850 North. The final damage
from the tornado was observed along North Old Michigan Road
directly south of Napoleon, where it is believed to have
dissipated before a new tornado formed southwest of Sunman
Indiana.

The National Weather Service in Wilmington would like to
thank Ripley County Emergency Management Agency for providing
information to assist with this survey.
