Overview
|
On the evening of April 2, 2025, a few discrete cells that eventually merged into a line of strong to severe storms swept through the area after sunset. Damaging winds of 60-80 mph were the main threat along with a few tornadoes. Concentrated areas of wind damage were noted across northern Indiana and northwest Ohio. As of April 5th, 2025, NWS Storm Surveys have confirmed 8 tornadoes: an EF-1 in Marshall County near Bourbon, 2 EF-1 tornadoes in Adams County, IN, 2 EF-1 tornadoes in Van Wert County, OH, an EF-1 tornado in Steuben County, an EF-1 in Branch County, MI, and an EF-2 tornado that affected Paulding/Putnam Counties in northwest Ohio. These storms also brought heavy rain to the area, with 1-3"+ area-wide, which escalated concerns for areal and river flooding for several days afterwards.
