South Bend Power Outages Caused by Weather
Events
A tornado developed near Church Road west of 298th Street and immediately damaged a home. One of the roof peaks was torn off and garage doors blown in. The damage here was very focused as nearby trees were not damaged, but insulation from the home was stuck to 3 different sides of the home, indicating this was likely a tornado. Farther east, there was an area of focused tree damage approximately 150 yards wide embedded within a several mile wide area of more minor tree damage. The tornado continued east where it snapped several power poles and caused minor damage to a church. Additional damage to grain bins and trees was noted along Church road just west of 322nd street, which appears to be the end of the focused damage most likely caused by the tornado. This tornado occurred within a several mile wide area of intense straight-line wind damage which was caused by winds at times greater than 80 mph.
This is the fifth and last of 5 cyclic tornadoes that a low-topped supercell thunderstorm produced at it tracked southeast through east of the Lincoln area. This tornado touched down in Alvo and tracked a little over 10 miles north northeast before lifting just west of South Bend. The tornado knocked down power poles and transmission lines, snapped trees and damaged houses and destroyed farm out buildings along its path. One of the downed power lines fell on a car trapping its occupant for several hours. Several cars were crushed by fallen trees in the Alvo area. From the 3 confirmed tornadoes that hit the county, plus any associated wind damage, emergency management estimated that 30 homes had minor damage with 4 sustaining major damage and 60 to 80 farm outbuildings were damaged with the total damage approaching $1 million.
