FORT WAYNE, Ind. (WANE) – August 24, 2016 was a day for the weather record books in northeast Indiana and northwest Ohio.

A warm front lifting northward through the Midwest produced 24 total tornadoes, 9 of which were in our viewing area. It was the largest single tornado event to ever occur in August, both Indiana and Ohio.

The largest tornado moved through the Woodburn area. It produced winds of up to 165 mph and was rated as an EF-3 on the Enhanced Fujita Scale.

The National Weather Service also confirmed an EF-2 tornado just northeast of Antwerp, and another just northwest of Defiance. EF-1 tornadoes were confirmed near Berne and Van Wert. Several other smaller EF-0 tornadoes also occurred, most of them in Van Wert County.
