NWSFO NORTHERN INDIANA

Peak winds up to 85 mph within the macroburst area were estimated to have occurred with widespread damage to trees, crops and homes. Particularly hard hit areas included southeast Cass county, the towns of Miami, Marion, Van Buren, Liberty Center, Willshire and Lima. In addition, several weak, brief tornadoes occurred in Van Wert and Allen counties.

PUBLIC INFORMATION STATEMENT...CORRECTION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NORTHERN INDIANA
600 PM EDT FRI JUN 23 2006

...SEVERAL TORNADO TOUCHDOWNS WERE CONFIRMED IN NORTHWEST OHIO...

ALTHOUGH THE BULK OF THE DAMAGE FROM THURSDAY AFTERNOON`S STORM WAS
CAUSED BY STRAIGHT LINE WINDS ASSOCIATED WITH OUTFLOW FROM A LINE OF
THUNDERSTORMS... A NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE DAMAGE SURVEY TEAM HAS
DETERMINED THAT SEVERAL WEAK TORNADOES ALSO OCCURRED.

AN F0 TORNADO WITH WINDS UP TO 72 MPH OCCURRED 2 MILES EAST OF
WILLSHIRE IN SOUTHWEST VAN WERT COUNTY NEAR THE INTERSECTION OF
HARRISON WILLSHIRE ROAD AND ROUTE 81. A BARN WAS DAMAGED IN THIS
AREA WITH DEBRIS CARRIED ACROSS AN ADJACENT FIELD.

AN F1 TORNADO WITH WINDS OF 73 TO 112 MPH OCCURRED 5 MILES EAST OF
THE TOWN OF WILLSHIRE IN SOUTHWEST VAN WERT COUNTY... NEAR THE
INTERSECTION OF ROUTE 81 AND GLENMORE ROAD. THE DAMAGE PATH FROM
THIS TORNADO WAS 25 YARDS WIDE AND 100 YARDS LONG. THE MOST NOTABLE
DAMAGE IN THIS AREA WAS TO A GARAGE WHICH WAS BUILT INTO A HILLSIDE.
SOME BLOCKS OF THE FOUNDATION WERE DISLODGED AS THE WALLS OF THE
GARAGE BLEW DOWN.

AN F0 TORNADO WITH WINDS UP TO 72 MPH OCCURRED 4 MILES SOUTHWEST OF
DELPHOS IN EASTERN VAN WERT COUNTY NEAR THE INTERSECTION OF CONVERSE
ROAD AND LANDECK ROAD. A WELL BUILT SHED WAS DESTROYED IN THIS AREA.

AN F1 TORNADO WITH WINDS OF 73 TO 112 MPH OCCURRED ABOUT 3 MILES
EAST OF THE TOWN OF BEAVERDAM IN NORTHEAST ALLEN COUNTY OHIO NEAR
THE INTERSECTION OF ROUTE 30 AND PEEVEE ROAD.  THE TORNADO WAS ON
THE GROUND FOR 200 YARDS AND WAS 50 YARDS WIDE. THE TORNADO
DESTROYED THE ROOF ON ONE HOME... CAUSED DAMAGE TO THE ROOF OF
ANOTHER HOME... AND CAUSED CROP DAMAGE.

THIS IS YET ANOTHER EXAMPLE OF STRAIGHT LINE THUNDERSTORM WINDS 
PRODUCING FAR MORE SIGNIFICANT, AND MUCH MORE WIDESPREAD DAMAGE
THAN THE WEAK TORNADOES WHICH WERE ASSOCIATED WITH THIS EVENT.
