1132 PM     Tornado          2 SSW Waterford         41.64N 86.86W
07/15/2024                   La Porte           IN   NWS Storm Survey

            A survey of damage confirmed a that a
            tornado developed rapidly south of
            Waterford, west of N 850 W and north of
            Snyder Rd in LaPorte county. This tornado
            intensified as it moved east northeast into
            the Dianne Ct subdivision west of Wozniak
            Rd. Further intensification was noted and
            observed to the east between Wozniak and
            Forrester roads. Here a private property
            sustained widespread and severe tree damage
            with several hundred mixed hardwood and
            softwood trees uprooted and/or snapped on
            this 20 acre property. Another concentrated
            area of significant tree damage was noted
            between Forrester Rd and Tiffany Dr. Many
            homes and outbuildings sustained minor to
            moderate damage from tree fall along this
            track. This tornado continued east but
            quickly weakened and ended west of Johnson
            Rd as a larger scale microburst overtook the
            tornado. Maximum winds were estimated at 100
            mph with a maximum path width of 75 yards.
