The weather service rated the tornado an EF-0, the lowest category on the Scale.Eckhoff says tornadoes are less common in the fall than in the spring, but they can still happen.“Some people refer to it as the second season, so to speak,” he said. “In the fall tends to have fewer, but sometimes notable tornado outbreaks.”He pointed to several significant Midwest tornado events in November and December, including the Evansville tornado and a tornado outbreak in northern Illinois.“It’s not rare, but it’s also not super common either compared to the spring,” Eckhoff said.The weather is expected to take a sharp turn Thursday, with cooler temperatures and northwesterly winds bringing light rain showers. Some parts of Indiana could see a rain-and-snow mix.Eckhoff says the shift is a big change from Wednesday’s warmer weather and thunderstorms.</div></body>
