The tenth and final tornado of the day (in the Northern Indiana weather office's area of responsibility) was born at 7:35 p.m. EDT (6:35 p.m. EST) over extreme eastern Van Wert County near Delphos.  It moved northeast for 32 miles across Putnam County, sweeping through the county seat of Ottawa.  Though most of the damage was relatively minor, there was some evidence of F3 strength winds.  The path was up to 3/4 of a mile wide.
