Daisy Hill was next in line, and also suffered EF4 destruction from the tornado described by witnesses as a "black wall." The tornado varied between EF2 and EF4 strength as it chewed through Clark State Forest, then maintained EF4 intensity and developed multiple vortices into the village of Henryville. Many homes in addition to the school complex were heavily damaged. The south side of Marysville also suffered home damage, at EF3 level.
