Counties: Orange
F-scale:
Deaths:
Injuries:
Path width:
Path length:
Time: 11:15pm
Noted discrepancies: SPC gives a path length of 1/10 of a mile...NCDC gives nothing. SPC gives a path width of 10 yards, NCDC gives nothing. The lack of an F-scale is frustrating. Storm Data mentions that the tornado was small and the worst damage seems to have been the destruction of a barn. It also apparently hit a cemetery and "toppled 50 tombstones". It struck on IN 56 midway between Paoli and Millersburg. Would guess it was an F1, but more research is needed to get a better idea of this tornado's f-scale.
