BOURBON, Ind. -- One of the biggest things meteorologists talk about with tornadoes are how “random” they seem. One house can be left standing, but only 50 feet away, the other is destroyed. That was the case here in Bourbon last night.
At its max, the EF-1 tornado was 175 yard wide. And yet on Crocus Cour intersecting Rose Lane, one house was mostly untouched while its next-door neighbor saw partial structural collapse.
The EF1 was also responsible for launching bolts, screws, and even shingles into sides of some houses and vehicles in this area. The rotational winds of the vortex can bring objects from hundreds of yards away and throw them into a nearby home, or even a completely separate town.
