The tornado was classified as an EF2, with wind speeds of 111-135 mph. The tornado was part of a larger storm system that brought heavy rain and thunderstorms to the area. The Tornado’s Path The tornado touched down in southern Bartholomew County, near Interstate 65, and moved northeast towards Hartsville. The path of the tornado was relatively straight, with a maximum width of about 300 yards. The tornado’s trajectory was influenced by the surrounding terrain, which funneled the winds and allowed the tornado to maintain its strength. • The tornado’s path was not without its challenges, however. The terrain in some areas was hilly, which caused the tornado to change direction and speed. • The tornado’s movement was also affected by the presence of nearby bodies of water, such as the Wabash River and the White River.
