...Preliminary NWS Damage Survey for 9/22/2024 Tornado Event...

.Overview...
A small shower produced a brief landspout tornado to the west of
Muncie in Delaware County on the evening of September 22. It
appeared that the cell developed along a weak boundary extending
to the west from where the landspout tornado occurred.

A landspout is a tornado that does not arise from organized storm
scale rotation and therefore is not associated with a wall cloud
visually or a mesocyclone on radar. Landspouts often begin close
to the ground and develop upwards.

Survey Summary:
A pole barn on Cammack Street sustained damage to portions of the
west side of the building with the wall collapsed inwards.
Structurally, little to no damage occurred to the frame of the
building. There was mostly sheet metal that was blown inward into
the building and outward back to the west. The remaining part of 
the metal building was not damaged. Additionally, no other damage 
was found to adjacent properties. 

We extend our thanks to the Delaware County Emergency Management
