Indiana’s Most Vulnerable Counties for Tornadoes in 2025

As you know, this time of year in Indiana is prime tornado season. We have already seen quite a few so far in 2025, but which counties are most at risk for tornadoes?

Tornadoes in Indiana

Recently, Meteorologists have discovered that "Tornado Alley" is shifting east. This new area of "Tornado Alley" now includes portions of Illinois, Indiana, and Kentucky. This makes some sense, as it seems like we are hearing more and more about tornadoes in Indiana over the past few years. We have seen some pretty devastating tornadoes make their way through the state, leaving people without homes and tragically, taking the lives of several Hoosiers.

According to the National Weather Service, Indiana averages about 22 tornadoes a year across the state. In 2025 alone, we have already well exceeded that amount of tornadoes. Recent reports have said that this year has had our fastest start for tornadoes in the Hoosier State since 1950. The National Weather Service has a ton of interesting tornado facts, you can read them all by clicking here.

What are the Most Tornado-Prone Counties in Indiana?

Recently, the website Home Gnome uncovered which counties in the United States are most at risk for tornado damage. Here's how they did it:

Using FEMA data, we analyzed nearly 950 counties with moderate to very high tornado risk. We considered six key factors, including tornado frequency, expected annual losses, average home age, and whether local building codes account for tornado resilience.

There were over 40 Indiana counties featured on this list. Perhaps that's a surprising number to you. What may or may not be even more surprising are the ten most tornado-prone counties in Indiana. Let's check them out.

Again, this is only the ten most vulnerable Indiana counties for tornadoes in 2025. If you would like to see what other Indiana counties made the list, you can do so by clicking here.
