What the reports say
Written by National Weather Service staff at the time of the event · public domain
Numerous large trees were sheared or uprooted. Nineteen loaded trailers were overturned and two air conditioning units were blown off a roof at a distribution center. Eight wooden high voltage electric poles were snapped. Another semi trailer was overturned on a highway. These occurrences were due to damaging thunderstorm winds.
Damage began on the south side of Kerr Drive, near David Drive, where trees were snapped off and several homes had shingle removal. Farther northeast, closer to I-75, more trees were broken off. Several buildings along I-75 between Floral Acres Drive and Springmeade Lane also sustained minor roof damage, including shingle and soffit removal. On the east side of I-75, several residential homes on Manchester Drive and Windsor Crossing had minor roof damage, including shingle and soffit removal. Light tree damage was also observed on the east side of I-75.||None of the damage was conclusively tornadic in nature, and was likely a result of rear-flank downdraft winds tied to a confirmed tornado a few miles to the north.||Estimated wind speeds in this area were determined to be around 60 mph.
Numerous trees were downed on the northwest side of Tipp City. Two people received minor injuries when a tree fell onto a house on Arapaho Trail. Trees also fell on several other houses in the area. In addition, athletic fencing was damaged at Tippecanoe Middle School.
