We’re thinking of our neighbors to the south.
The National Weather Service confirmed 17 damaging tornadoes touched down Friday night into Saturday morning across the state.
The largest of those was reported in Sullivan County, along with two in Johnson County, causing severe damage to the Whiteland area (~25 minutes south of Indianapolis).
