Tornado Damages 3 Homes Near Indianapolis

 

Authorities say a tornado near Indianapolis has damaged at least three homes. National Weather Service meteorologist Mike Ran says the tornado struck Tuesday afternoon just southwest of Indianapolis but was no longer on the ground.

He says the Hendricks County Emergency Management Agency reported that at least three homes sustained extensive damage.
 
Ryan says the storm that produced the tornado was headed toward the town of Speedway west of downtown Indianapolis.

He says the storm should be considered extremely dangerous because it was headed into a congested metropolitan area.
