Argos Power Outages Caused by Weather
Events
The initial touchdown of the tornado was located a large grove of trees along Maple Rd. west of Argos and proceeded rapidly southeast to the southeast side of Argos. The tornado skipped along its track, snapping and uprooting numerous trees, downing power poles and lines and damaging some structures. Two businesses on the south side of Argos, near the intersection of US 31 and State Rd 10 suffered moderate damage. The roof of the Topp Industries plant suffered damage. A McDonalds/BP Station suffered metal siding and roofing damage along with the removal of a few gas pumps. A stationary police cruiser was spun by a combination of the strong winds and a sign post striking the car. Neither the officer, nor anyone else in the path of the tornado was injured. The tornado lifted southeast of this point. Exact damage figures were not available, but are estimated to be at least $500,000.
Numerous trees, tree limbs, power lines and poles were reported down across the county, including Argos, Plymouth, and Bourbon. No reports of significant structure damage were received.
