Summary:
Tornado first caused damaged around the intersection of West 200 North and North 900 West. Four homes sustained damage that
consisted primarily of roof and siding taken off homes. South facing front porch roof taken off western most house. Clear convergent pattern was observed in this area with several large
tree limbs down and a few smaller trees topped or uprooted. Sheet metal thrown nearly a quarter mile east. A storage shed was lifted and moved 40 feet off of its foundation. Siding and roof loss
occurred at 3 other homes at this location. The Tornado likely lifted briefly over a large field but then hit a fire station on US Highway 52
where the south side of the roof was torn off and debris lofted several hundred yards to the northeast. Trees to west of this building
were broken off near their tops. The tornado then continued skipping to the east per law enforcement observations and witnesses. Minor damage was observed at a school on the north side of Arlington with soffit/awning damage on west side of building. That metal was deposited to the north while small trees and limbs along a north side fence line were laid down to the south. From this point on to ending point, witnesses reported the tornado lifting and dropping across fields with only sporadic tree damage. Law enforcement reported the tornado lifted for final time just east of highway 3 and west of CR 150W
along CR 300N.
The NWS would like to thank the Rush county EMA for assistance in this damage survey.

Summary:
A skipping tornado moved through the town of Summitville with initial touchdown west of the waste water treatment plant in a grove of trees. At the plant, a poorly secured roof was partially lifted and pieces strewn downwind in a convergent
pattern. A 2x4 was planted into the ground from the southeast which was opposite of the general damage direction. The tornado then skipped through town causing tree and roof damage before causing more significant damage along Mill Street. There several large tree limbs damaged a car and home with insulation splattered across 3 of the 4 sides of the home. Small amounts of
mud splatter was also noted through town. Damage then briefly lessened near the school before 2 large and unhealthy oak trees were snapped. The tornado lifted afterwards with no additional damage.
