(Southeastern IN) – There were no reports of damage around the area following Thursday night’s violent weather.
That’s the word from local law enforcement agencies after severe weather rumbled through Southeastern Indiana.
WRBI Meteorologist Michael Karow says it’s unusual to have strong to severe storms in February.
“Especially this far north. It’s usually a little farther off to the southeastern part of the country this time of year,” Karow said. “March is when we start to typically get a little bit more of that severe weather risk, especially into northern Illinois and starting to get closer to the Ohio River Valley region but, yeah, we’re a little bit ahead of schedule.”
Decatur County was under a tornado warning, which prompted officials to stop the South Decatur-Greensburg boys basketball game. Everyone was escorted out of the gym until the all-clear was signaled and the game between county rivals resumed.
