0958 PM     Tornado          2 NW Adamsboro          40.81N 86.29W
06/11/2026                   Cass               IN   NWS Storm Survey

            Drone footage provided by Cass County
            Emergency Management confirmed an EF-1
            tornado occurred within a line of severe
            thunderstorms across northeast Cass County.
            The tornado began just south of County Road
            325 N between County Road 400 E and 450 E
            where the roof of a barn was damaged. The
            tornado then tracked northeast and produced
            noticeable scouring of crops. The tornado
            destroyed a 40ft pole barn on County Road
            375 N and caused additional damage to the
            roofs of barns along County Road 500 E. The
            tornado dissipated by County Road 425 N
            where some minor tree damage was observed.

1011 PM     Tornado          3 E Plymouth            41.35N 86.26W
06/11/2026                   Marshall           IN   NWS Storm Survey

            A brief tornado spun up south of 8A on King
            Rd, uprooting or snapping multiple trees and
            causing damage to a barn. The tornado
            continued northeast, flipping a center pivot
            before entering a grove of trees causing
            several snapped trees. The circulation moved
            quickly northeast, knocking down a few more
            trees north of 8A Rd. The tornado quickly
            lifted on the north side of 8A Rd after
            doing significant damage to a barn.

1022 PM     Tornado          3 SW Wabash             40.77N 85.85W
06/11/2026                   Wabash             IN   NWS Storm Survey

            A tornado touched down in the vicinity of W
            400 S and S 300 W on the southwest edge of
            Wabash. At this location, a number of wood
            power poles were snapped at the base. The
            tornado then raced northeast to Glendale
            Dr., McKibben St., and Barkley Dr. in Wabash
            where a number of homes of damaged. Homes
            lost shingles or even portions of the roof
            decking. Debris was lofted into nearby tree
            lines. One dual-axle fifth-wheel camper was
            tipped over. Insulation and dirt splatter
            was noted at a few different homes. Beyond
            Berkley Dr., damage was limited to instances
            of small limbs down in the neighborhood.
            Farther northeast, in the vicinity of
            Lafountaine Ave and W Waterworks Rd., an
            outbuilding was destroyed when its
            south-facing door appeared to be blown, in
            resulting in a collapse of walls and loss of
            roof panels. The tornado reached its peak
            intensity as it moved over properties on W
            Water Works road. Here, two injuries were
            reported as homes lost windows and roof
            decking, and a manufactured home was shifted
            several feet off its foundation. Dirt and
            insulation splatter was noted in these
            areas. Beyond S Meridian Rd., damage was
            once again limited to instances of trees or
            branches down. Powerlines were down near E
            Baumbauer Rd, where the tornado appears to
            have lifted.

1046 PM     Tornado          4 ENE Elkhart           41.71N 85.90W
06/11/2026                   Elkhart            IN   NWS Storm Survey

            A National Weather Service storm survey
            determined that an EF-2 tornado occurred in
            association with a line of severe
            thunderstorms across northern Elkhart
            County. The path of the tornado began in the
            County Road 15 and Bainbridge Drive area
            just west of Bristol, IN where some minor
            shingle damage to homes was observed along
            with some uprooted trees. The tornado
            continued northeastward across open fields,
            and then reached the Hyde Park Drive and
            Stanford Drive areas where additional trees
            were uprooted. A residence on Hyde Park
            Drive sustained a complete loss of a garage
            with accompanying significant resultant roof
            damage. One injury was reported at this
            residence. A small shed was also moved off
            its base at this same residence on Hyde Park
            Drive. Another residence on Stanford Drive
            suffered a near complete loss of its roof.
            The tornado then crossed a field as it
            approached the Pheasant Ridge subdivision
            and resulted in several snapped trees along
            a tree line. Several large tree branches and
            additional uprooted trees were noted in the
            Pheasant Ridge subdivision on Folkstone
            Court. Some minor shingle damage was also
            observed to a residence on Folkstone Court.
            The tornado also resulted in large trees
            downed on County Road 19 to the immediate
            east of Pheasant Ridge Drive. The end of the
            tornado patch appeared to be just east of
            County Road 19 affecting the Baltimore
            Oriole Drive and Songbird Way vicinity where
            some small branches were downed. The
            National Weather Service would like to thank
            Elkhart Emergency Management, the Bristol
            Fire Department, and the Osolo Fire
            Department for a great deal of assistance
            with this survey.

06/11/2026                   Jay                IN   NWS Storm Survey

            Drone footage provided by Jay County
            Emergency Management confirmed a brief EF-0
            tornado occurred within a line of severe
            thunderstorms across northwest Jay County.
            The tornado began just south of 550 N where
            a barn had the roof blown off. There was
            also some roof damage to a nearby house and
            several trees were snapped off. Debris was
            lofted well northeast into the nearby
            fields. Debris was observed all the way to
            State Road 1 where additional minor tree and
            roof damage was observed. The tornado
            dissipated shortly after crossing State Road
            1.
