Griffin Power Outages Caused by Weather
Events
A microburst produced a long swath of damaging winds across far northern Posey County. The swath was as much as two miles wide in places. Several corn fields were blown down, with the stalks broken in some areas. Hundreds of trees were broken or uprooted, and several power lines were down. Widespread tree damage occurred along Interstate 64 near the Black River rest area. Some small sheds and signs were damaged. The 25-mile long microburst continued across southern Gibson County, where it became more intense and damaging.
This long-track tornado continued from White County, Illinois across the Wabash River into Posey County. The tornado was rated EF-2 throughout its path in Posey County. The tornado was about 220 yards wide when it crossed the Wabash River to Indiana Highway 69. Several small barns were destroyed, and most trees were snapped along the path. Power poles were snapped, and roads were blocked by debris. The Posey County portion of the path was almost entirely through agricultural land, resulting in damage to very few residences. The tornado crossed Interstate 64 west of Poseyville, leaving a path of flattened trees across the interstate. Just before the tornado crossed into Gibson County, an old house was shifted off its foundation. The tornado again strengthened to EF-3 intensity after crossing into Gibson County.
