This list will continue to be updated as damage survey results come in.

The SPC page had ~35 tornado reports, which, if history is any indication, likely includes several from the same tornado(es). Updated it just now to bump it up to 24 with two 'new' F3s in the Indianapolis county warning area.

hmmm... thought it was higher 35 i thought.

That was the unconfirmed number. These are confirmed tornadoes. Still surveys are ongoing so except the number to possibly rise some more...

Believe it or not...this has been the first F4 this year. Thankfully nobody was killed.

[SamSagnella]

Updated to include several new tornadoes from WFO PAH (both in IL and KY) and added one to the MEG total. Also updated the Benton tornado path length from "20+ miles long" to the updated total length of 44.1 miles. I still don't understand why no updated LSRs or PNSs were issued from IND -- they had two F3s in their CWA and no statements were issued other than a post on their website. :?

[jkt21787]

Nasville now says 19 total tornadoes in their CWA...worst single tornado day in history for them...

Lincoln CWA
1) Jasper County near Newton- F1 (90-100mph) - 10 miles long - 50 yards wide
25 miles NE of my house.


St. Louis CWA
1) Marion County - F1 - 5 miles long - 100 yards wide
12 miles W-NW of my house. My great uncle lives 1 MILE north of the torandos path there. it went right over his farm land. Luckly there is no crops in right now, but if this was a july torando, we would have a major harvest problem here in our area.
