We were just talking a few days ago about areas prone to tornadoes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eeeek. That's not good. Thanks for the update. I often stay in Huber Heights when I'm splitting my drive to Indy up. Looks like the 2nd smaller tornado went right through them. We'll see if its OK when I try to stay there in July. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maddmaxx ★ Posted May 28, 2019 Share #6 Posted May 28, 2019 I expect there may be some power and internet problems where donk lives. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirby Posted May 28, 2019 Share #7 Posted May 28, 2019 Someone from another forum mentioned that they lived in a neighborhood filled with old trees and that very few are left standing. But she was thankful her house was ok, even though they didn't have power and might not have power for a long time. Donkpow likely doesn't have power either, but I hope he checks in when he can. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post donkpow Posted May 28, 2019 Popular Post Share #8 Posted May 28, 2019 Yes, we're okay. The path of one of the tornadoes was about a half mile from here. Minor damage in one of the trees, some vinyl siding on the ground, local potable water system pumps are down so we have low water pressure, phone service is intermittent, internet has been down all day. Not too bad. As far as I have heard, one life lost, up in Celina. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s my stopover point when I go to Indy. Looks like they were in the path of the smaller of the tornadoes last night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a map of tornado tracks on the day. It was produced by a local TV meteorologist. You will see similar published by the NWS when investigations are complete. Sorry about the size, it is what it is. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
