Severe weather swept through Indiana again during the evening hours on June 21 and hit several counties in the southern part of the state.
Tornado warnings were issued in several counties, including Brown, Bartholomew, Monroe, Morgan, Martin, Decatur, Daviess, Knox, Sullivan, Lawrence and Gibson as well as other cities around the state.
Here’s what we know so far about tornadoes and the National Weather Service’s plan to survey the impacted areas.
NWS sending out survey teams
As of noon on June 22, NWS Indianapolis said survey teams were on their way to Sullivan, Martin and Bartholomew counties to make their preliminary assessments after the storm.
It takes time to assess storm damage, especially with so many counties affected. NWS Indianapolis may know more information later today, but sometimes it takes a few days to determine the severity of a storm.
NWS Louisville shared on Facebook they are planning to survey Clark County, Indiana, on June 22.
