[Delayed Report] 3 SSE Klinger Lake [St. Joseph Co, MI] NWS Storm Survey reports Tornado at 30 Mar, 5:17 PM EDT -- Ground and aerial surveys confirm a weak EF0 tornado began near the intersection of Olnhausen and Shimmel Rd where over a dozen pine trees were snapped and several others were uprooted. The tornado proceeded quickly northeast removing an empty grain bin and a portion of a pole barn roof west of the intersection of Fawn River and Stubey roads. The grain bin was thrown into power lines along Fawn River Road, possibly aiding in the damage to several snapped power poles. Spans of a center pivot were rolled once. The tornado then continued across open fields to west of Balk Rd and US 12 where trees were blown down onto power lines. A piece of metal from the barn roof was wrapped around a pole several feet off the ground. Another center pivot was damaged northeast of this intersection. The tornado then dissipated shortly thereafter. Path of 3.57 miles and maximum width of 300 yards.

Who is this W9LW, anyway?

W9LW is my FCC-assigned, amateur (ham) radio call sign. I'm Jay Farlow and I've been a ham since 1973. I've been a volunteer storm spotter for the National Weather Service SKYWARN program since the 1970s. I've also been a volunteer EMT and firefighter and member of a disaster medical assistance team. I served on the leadership team of Associated Churches Active in Disaster, a ministry of Associate Churches of Fort Wayne and Allen County. I'm a former broadcast journalist. Currently, I work as an independent public relations consultant. Learn more about w9lw at www.qrz.com/db/w9lw.

About the header image

No, it's not a funnel cloud! The header image on this blog comes from a photo W9LW shot in March of 2013 in northeastern Fort Wayne. He knew that untrained observers might incorrectly identify the tilted rain shaft as a funnel cloud, so he snapped the photo for educational purposes.
