THAT
THAT YOU'VE SEEN ALL DAY LIVE FROM YOU'RE WATCHING 13. THANKS FOR INVITING US IN AT 11. WE
WANT TO BEGIN TONIGHT BY
KEEPING A WEATHER AWARE BECAUSE
WE'VE GOT THIS STRONG STORM
SYSTEM MOVING ACROSS INDIANA.
IN FACT, I WANT YOU TO TAKE A
LOOK AT LIVE DOPPLER 13 RIGHT
NOW. THIS IS PART OF A MAJOR
STORM SYSTEM IMPACTING MULTIPLE
STATES RIGHT? TORNADOES HIT THE
SOUTH EARLIER TODAY KILLING
FIVE PEOPLE IN ALABAMA. THERE'S
ALSO SEVERE DAMAGE IN
MISSISSIPPI AND GEORGIA AND THE
THREAT UNFORTUNATELY IS NOT
OVER YET IN SOUTHERN INDIANA
TODAY, MULTIPLE COUNTIES ARE
NOW UNDER A TORNADO WATCH UNTIL
MIDNIGHT HERE IN INDIANAPOLIS
WE'VE SEEN SOME HEAVY RAIN AND
LIGHTNING THIS EVENING, SOME
PLACES EVEN GETTING HIT WITH
HAIL. THIS VIDEO HERE IS
FROM THE NORTHWEST SIDE
OF INDIANAPOLIS. BUT ANGELA IS
TELLING US THE BIG THREAT RIGHT
NOW IS THE STRONG WIND GUST.
THAT'S RIGHT, SCOTT. ONCE WE
GET RID OF THE SEVERE THREAT
OVER THE NEXT HOUR OR SO WE'LL
TURN OUR ATTENTION TO WINDS
THAT MAY GUST 50 TO 60 MILES
PER HOUR FOR SEVERAL HOURS
OVERNIGHT. THIS IS LIVE DOPPLER
13 RADAR. WE STILL HAVE ONE
AREA UNDER A TORNADO WATCH
UNTIL MIDNIGHT BUT I CAN TELL
YOU BROWNSTOWN AND SEE MORE
THAT SEVERE THREAT IS NOW
MOVING EAST OF YOU WITH THE
HEAVY RAIN, THE POTENTIAL FOR
SOME STRONG WINDS MOVING INTO
NORTH VERNON RIGHT NOW COVERING
ALL OF JENNING'S COUNTY NORTH
INTO GREENSBURG OVER TOWARD
HOPE WE HAVE RAIN, A FEW
RUMBLES OF THUNDER. YOU CAN SEE
THE LIGHTNING STRIKES AS THEY
HAPPEN WITH LIVE DOPPLER 13
RADAR. WE'RE ALONG I 70
FROM EAST OF INDIANAPOLIS OVER
TOWARD RICHMOND WITH SOME
OF THE HEAVIER CELLS SPICELAND
OVER TOWARD NEWCASTLE. THESE
ARE ALL TRACKING OFF TO THE
EAST NORTHEAST WE GO NORTH
ALONG INTERSTATE 69, SOME HEAVY
RAIN MERRYMOUNT JUST WEST
OF YOU. HEAVY RAIN BUT NOTHING
SEVERE. FRANKFORT UP TO DELFI
OVER TOWARD LOGANSPORT. BUT WE
DO HAVE THE LIGHTNING WITH THIS
STORM APPROACHING PARU RIGHT
NOW AND SOME ADDITIONAL SHOWERS
DEVELOPING OUT TO OUR WEST. THE
SEVERE THREAT WILL DIMINISH
OVER THE NEXT HOUR OR SO. BUT
AS YOU CAN SEE WITH A BIGGER
VIEW OF THE RADAR, WE'RE NOT
COMPLETELY DONE WITH THE RAIN
YET. WE WILL KEEP RAIN IN THE
FORECAST AND THEN ON THE
BACKSIDE OF THIS WEATHER SYSTEM
AGAIN WE TURN OUR ATTENTION TO
PERHAPS SOME WINDS THAT GUST 50
TO 60 MILES PER HOUR. STORM
REPORTS SO FAR HAVE TO DO WITH
HAIL FROM NEAR AN INCH IN
DIAMETER ACROSS PARTS
OF OAKLAND COUNTY TO SEVERAL
REPORTS OF HAIL UP TOWARD
CARMEL AND WESTFIELD. THAT
CONCERN OVERNIGHT AGAIN WILL BE
THE POTENTIAL FOR THOSE GUSTY
WINDS. HIGH WIND WARNING FOR A
GOOD PART OF CENTRAL INDIANA 50
TO 60 MILE PER HOUR WIND GUSTS
IF THIS IN FACT PANS OUT, WE
MAY HAVE SOME TREES AND POWER
LINES DOWN OVERNIGHT THAT
ANGELA YOU MENTIONED THAT WE
ARE STARTING TO GET SOME
REPORTS OF POWER OUTAGES
TONIGHT IN LEBANON. BOONE
COUNTY, A FALLING TREE TOOK OUT
A FEW POWER LINES. THERE'S ALSO
BEEN A FEW REPORTS TONIGHT
OF OUTAGES HERE IN
INDIANAPOLIS. WE'VE GOT LAUREN
KOSTIC TALKING TO POWER CREWS
TONIGHT ABOUT HOW THEY'RE
PREPARING FOR WHAT MAY END UP
BEING A PRETTY LONG NIGHT
AHEAD. SHE JOINS US LIVE
FROM DOWNTOWN INDY. SO WHAT ARE
YOU SEEING RIGHT NOW? WELL,
SCOTT, AT THE MOMENT WE'RE
UNDER AN OVERPASS JUST TO BE
SAFE WITH A LITTLE BIT
OF LIGHTNING COMING THROUGH
DOWNTOWN AT THE MOMENT. AND AS
FAR AS THE RAIN, IT REALLY HAS
STARTED TO SLOW DOWN JUST TO A
SLIGHT SPRINKLE DOWNTOWN. AND
IF YOU TAKE A LOOK AT THE CREWS
CAR WASH BEHIND ME, YOU CAN SEE
THE FLAGS OUT THERE. THE WIND
IS SLOWLY STARTING TO PICK UP
BUT NOTHING TOO BAD YET AT THE
MOMENT. IN ABOUT 30 30 MINUTES
AGO WE DID RECEIVE PHOTOS AND
VIDEOS, PEA SIZED HAIL AND
HEAVY RAIN COMING DOWN. THIS
HAPPENED IN CARMEL IN NORTHWEST
INDIANAPOLIS AND AS THAT SYSTEM
MOVES OUT, IT'S MAKING WAY FOR
HIGH WINDS LIKE ANGELA SAID. SO
HERE IS WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW
IF YOU START TO SEE DOWNED
TREES AND POWER LINES, THERE
ARE A FEW THINGS TO KEEP IN
MIND. NEVER YOUR POWER LINE
ALWAYS ASSUME IT IS LIFE YOU
SHOULD CALL AND REPORT IT TO
YOUR POWER COMPANY RIGHT AWAY.
NOW IF THERE IS A FIRE CAUSED
BY A DOWNED POWER I MAKE SURE
TO CALL NINE ONE ONE FIRST A
DUKE ENERGY TELL ME THEY HAVE
CREWS ON STANDBY AND IF THERE
WERE TRAFFIC SIGNALS OR TREE
DEBRIS ISSUES, CALL YOUR LOCAL
DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS AND
FOR THOSE IN INDIANAPOLIS YOU
CAN CALL THE MAYORS ACTION
CENTER AND TELLS YOU THEY HAVE
40 EMPLOYEES READY TO GO AND TO
HELP PEOPLE OUT. AND WITH THIS
HAPPENING OVERNIGHT, THIS MEANS
IT WILL BE DARK OUT, WHICH IS
JUST ANOTHER REASON TO MAKE
SURE YOU'RE CAUTIOUS. BUT
DOWNTOWN AT THE MOMENT IT IS
PRETTY CALM OUT HERE SCOTT. ALL
RIGHT, LAUREN, THANK YOU FOR
THAT LIVE REPORT. AND OF COURSE
WE WANT TO SEE YOUR STORM
PICTURES AND VIDEOS OVERNIGHT.
YOU CAN TEXT THEM TO THIS
