Tornado - Hanover, Indiana
Jefferson County, Indiana

Date	3/3/2023
Time (Local)	3:29-3:31 PM EST
EF Rating	EF-1
Est. Peak Winds	100 mph
Path Length	1.6 miles
Max Width	120 yards
Injuries/Deaths	0/0
Summary: The National Weather Service in Louisville conducted a storm damage assessment summary for the March 3rd tornado that hit halfway between Hanover and Lexington, IN. The tornado initially touched down near Ford Road, which is just south of SR-56. Drone video showed trees snapped, twisted, and uprooted and laying in multiple directions. The tornado did the most damage between 9011 to 8904 SR 56. Six outbuildings and older barns were severely damaged or destroyed. A brick home sustained significant roof damage, had windows busted, and TV antenna snapped facing a westerly direction. Most of the damaged trees on the south side of SR 56 were facing from the west northwest to the north. Winds were estimated to be 90-95 mph with a width of 100 yards. On the north side of SR 56, a well-built wooden home had several windows blown out, and the house foundation shifted several inches. A SUV had all its windows blown out, and looked like it had been shelled with debris. Several outbuildings were destroyed, throwing debris to the northwest and northerly directions. There was metal sheeting in the trees wrapped around branches and trees. A well-built 40 by 60 barn had a large portion of its roof lifted, but its foundation did not move. This caused a plethora of insulation to be thrown in every direction into the wooded area. Several cars were moved by a few feet and mud and insulation were on three sides of the barn. Pieces of this barn were thrown up to 275 yards downwind. A sturdy single wide moved several feet off its foundation, but not a single shingle was missing. Winds were strongest in this area with 100 mph max wind and a width of 100 yards.

Tornado - Jasper, Indiana
Dubois County, Indiana

Date	3/3/2023
Time (Local)	2:11-2:18 PM EST
EF Rating:	EF-1
Est. Peak Winds	105 mph
Path Length	7.3 miles
Max Width	400 yards
Injuries/Deaths	0/0
Summary: An EF-1 tornado formed on the west side of Dubois County, embedded within a line of severe thunderstorms. It first touched down near a barn in the city of Duff, leaving only one wall and the area`s tornado siren standing. The tornado then crossed flat farmland, not causing noticeable damage again until it reached the corner of 450 W and 100S, where a barn had significant roof damage and a home had shingle and siding damage. A private citizen had video footage of a narrow condensation funnel looking in the direction of this damage. From here a continuous path of damage was noted by the Emergency Manager, going through neighborhoods along Skyview Dr and Schuetter Dr west of Jasper. The tornado last caused damage in the Grassland Hills subdivision, causing multiple trees to snap near W 31st St. At this point some tree top snapping was noted as the tornado lifted. Thanks to the Dubois County EM office for providing plenty of damage photos and for close coordination in finding this tornado`s damage path amidst other reports of damage from the gradient winds that occurred a little later in the afternoon.

A nearby house had its west-facing windows blown in, suffered shingle and fascia damage, and an adjacent TV antenna was bent at its base parallel to the ground. Crossing Interstate 64, the tornado overturned a semitrailer about one mile east of the interchange with US 231.
