This is when the National Weathr
Service tonight is confirming t,
yes, three tornadoes hit the
state of Indiana yesterday.
Now that includes one in Johnson County,
which caused all the damage
that you see from Drone Cam 13.
This is in Greenwood.
The National Weather Service has
yet to issue a rating indicating
the strength of that tornado,
but you can get an idea of the power of
the storm when you see this video here.
This spiral, this twister gets
even stronger and it's hitting
an apartment complex which
was mostly under construction.
So tonight we've got live team coverage
for you as we take a look at the damage.
A day later,
our gentleman of it takes a look
at the damage That's just South
of Center Grove High School.
But let's start with Rich Nye.
He's actually live from Greenwo,
where he spent the day in the
Kensington Grove neighborhood. .
Yeah, we're right in the middlef
the Kensington Grove neighborho,
and this is just South of Center
Grove High School in Johnson Co.
This seems to be the area hit hardest
by that tornado here in Johnson County.
Many homes in this neighborhood
have lost part or all of the ro,
including this home behind me,
which is owned by the Warner fa.
Jill McCall has a gaping hole in his home.
Obviously, mine got. The worst
out of this neighborhood? His
roof torn off by a tornado and
launched into a neighbor's gara.
When the storm hit Sunday,
Joel had been sleeping.
I was right there. Yeah.
2 by fours and two by sixes stuk
through the the ceiling who
like swords stabbing through the
the roof the ceiling in there.
So it's it's pretty scary stuff.
His son's scream sent them both
to the basement just in time.
There's windows in the basement
and we saw just chairs,
debris the guy's dock. That's behind.
There's a lake back there.
The guy's doc flew out and ended
up in our driveway. I mean,
and we'll get back to that in just a moment.
But right now that's here from e
Warner family and their experiee
in this tornado on Sunday,
just crazy the way it's just rotating
in one spot. The
Warner family watched the approaching
storm from their front porch. Oh my gosh,
there's a tornado.
Everybody in the basement.
The family ran to the basement
as the tornado came right at
their house. Basement. Basement.
We are in underneath the stairs.
The tornado just went over a ho.
Just went over our houses.
Our ears are popping. Drone
Camp 13 shows the tornado tore e
top off their big red brick hou.
While the Warner's were safe in the basement.
The sirens did not go off until after
it hit our house. We are all sa.
Most of our belongings are OK.
You know the things that matter.
More than 20 family and friends
showed up Sunday night to move t
of the furniture out of the hou.
Jill took me upstairs Monday mog
to see the damage from the insi.
This is my older son's room andI
mean there's just nothing. This is all
they're putting this on today.
The sure up the house.
It was completely gone yesterday
and it was snowing and here
with all the insulation.
Crews worked Monday to protect the house
from further damage before lengy
and extensive repairs can begin.
We're just so blessed.
I am just so thankful that God
took care of us in this situatin
and that he sent so many people
so quickly just to help us out.
Jill's parents live nearby.
The family stayed there last
night and may be living with
her parents for the near future.
Jenny Runovich also down here
in Johnson County with me today.
Jenny, we saw all those videos.
We knew there was a tornado here on Sunday.
The National Weather
Service confirmed that today
they did, and I actually met wih
the survey team that was out
today here in the Kensington Gre
neighborhood and in all the othr
neighborhoods hit in Johnson Co.
They are still determining the exact path,
the exact strength of this stor.
But they tell me,
at least in this neighborhood,
probably a hundred 110 mile an hour winds
hit this neighborhood with that tornado.
And once it hit Kensington Grov,
it basically tracked E just Souh
of Center Grove High School to
another neighborhood right on a lake.
Joel McCall has a gaping hole in his home.
Obviously mine got. The worst
out of this neighborhood? His
roof torn off by a tornado and
launched into a neighbor's gara.
When the storm hit Sunday,
Joel had been sleeping.
I was right there.
Yeah, 2 by fours and two by sixs
stuck through the the ceiling.
Who'd like swords stabbing throh
the the roof the ceiling in the.
So it's it's pretty scary stuff.
His son's scream sent them both
to the basement just in time.
There's windows in the basement
and we saw just chairs, debris,
the guy's dock. That's behind.
There's a lake back there.
The guy's dock flew out and
ended up in our driveway.
I mean huge piece of dock.
And so it's just the the
strength of the storm.
It just is it amazing.
The water's edge neighborhood is prized
for its peaceful lakefront backyards,
but that's right where
the twister carved A destructive path.
So it came through that and
it was coming from that
White House across the lake.
So it came across the lake
and then once it hit the lake.
I mean it like speed up.
Literally. Just out of nowhere,
the storm came through and tookt
our entire backyard, our deck. y
Hines family just put in this p.
Now it has an unwanted swimmer.
So this was the roof
of our pavilion. It used to
be over there in the corner,
but she's thankful they got ther
four girls inside to safety befe
that tornado roared through.
And it just came right this way,
homes. Much easier to fix
knowing no one got hurt.
So Joel's home is actually one of 75 that
were damaged here in Johnson Co.
The good news, Rich, is power
mostly restored in this area,
but a lot of cleanup still to ce
for sure. And you can see tarps
in this neighborhood everywhere.
I think probably at least half
of those 75 homes in Johnson
County are in this neighborhood.
And at 5:30, we're going to
take you for a walk around this
neighborhood just behind this h,
there are two other homes that's
sustained significant. Damage.
We'll have that for you at 5:30.
All right. Thanks so much.
It's amazing to see how signifit
the damage is there and yet how
resilient the homeowners are and
grateful that it wasn't worse.
Rich and Jenny reporting live
for us tonight. Thank you.
I mean, truly, it is astounding.
The National Weather Service confirming
two other tornado touchdowns as well.
One was in southwest Monroe Couy
and the other was in Martin Cou,
which is South of Shoals.
So here's a look at the damage.
In Martin County,
the Emergency Management director says it
destroyed two houses in the rural area,
killing one person and hurting another.
And like the other tornadoes,
we don't yet know the strength of this one.
But as you can see in the video,
it rippled through a house,
even pushing it off the foundatn
and tossing pieces of it everyw,
and also split many of the trees
surrounding the house into piec.
And ladies,
I mean they said it already,
but this is amazing that no one
was hurt in this.
Absolutely. And just in from the
Weather Service, we now have tht
rating indicating the strength f
the tornado that hit Johnson Co.
What have you learned EF1?
So that means wins, they're thig
Max wins 100 to 110 and thinkinn
the ground for three to four mi.
We still may see some updates on
that and I will tell you we do
still have survey teams across e
southern part of the state.
So we may see this tornado.
