An EF-1 tornado with peak winds of 110 mph and a 15-mile length hit parts of Warren and Marion Counties on Tuesday night, the National Weather Service says.
The tornado was on the ground from 6:43 to 7:06 p.m. and had a maximum width of 15 miles. The peak wind of 110 mph is just one mile per hour lower than the minimum threshold for an EF-2 tornado.
"The tornado began in eastern Warren County just to the east of Liberty Center, NWS said. "Based on eyewitness accounts and video evidence, it's likely this tornado was intermittent, and not a fully continuous path."
