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 4th, 2025, NWS Storm Surveys have confirmed 6 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, 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.

Please let us know of any additional damage that was received during the storms on Wednesday, April 2nd.  The NWS greatly appreciates reports from the public and trained spotters.

04/02/2025                   Marshall           IN   NWS Storm Survey 

            A survey of damage revealed a tornado 
            touched down southeast of Rutland on SR-10 
            and tracked quickly northeast. The tornado 
            moved over numerous empty fields but also 
            impacted several wooded areas as well as 
            snapped or uprooted trees on private 
            property. The tornado entered Bourbon and 
            reached peak intensity on the northeast side 
            of town in the area of Crocus Ct and Rose 
            Lane where several homes suffered extensive 
            roof damage. Debris was thrown into the 
            field. Many homes showed garage doors being 
            compromised, lowering potentially higher 
            wind speeds. The tornado continued out of 
            town, producing sporadic tree and power pole 
            damage until reaching north of Etna Green in 
            Kosciusko county where the damage ended. A 
            preliminary rating of the tornado has been 
            assigned EF-1 with estimated peak winds 
            around 105 mph. The path length was 17.9 
            miles.

            A tornado touched down on the southeast side 
            of Van Wert, OH where tree and shingle 
            damage occurred before the tornado destroyed 
            a two-story barn structure. The tornado 
            might have briefly skipped as it traversed 
            to the northeast before causing noticeable 
            damage on Lincoln Hwy. The tornado then 
            caused some minor damage to a deer farm 
            before destroying a pole barn. The last 
            noticeable damage occurred just northwest of 
            Ottoville. As this tornado dissipated, 
            another tornado formed off just to its 
            north. The tornado has been given a 
            preliminary rating of EF-1 with an estimated 
            peak wind of 95 mph. Path length is 12.6 
            miles and maximum path width of 300 yards.

            A second tornado spun up north of the 
            decaying Van Wert tornado, touching down in 
            far southeast Paulding County. The tornado 
            severely damaged a pole barn as it moved 
            into Putnam county. The tornado rapidly 
            moved northeast, hitting a well anchored 
            mobile homed and flipping it 60 feet away. 
            Three occupants were in the mobile home and 
            two of them sustained minor injuries. It is 
            here that the tornado peaked at EF-2 
            magnitude with an estimated wind speed of 
            120 mph. The tornado destroyed another 
            well-anchored 60x120 ft pole barn, throwing 
            its debris onto the bank of the Auglaize 
            River. To the northeast, it directly hit the 
            town of Dupont where it did widespread EF-0 
            to EF-1 damage throughout. The tornado 
            damaged several large corn silos (one that 
            was full of corn had the ground anchor bolts 
            break from uplift). It is near here where 
            the visible damage stopped. The path length 
            of the tornado is 4.51 miles with a maximum 
            width of 375 yards.
