Multiple videos showed a terrifying tornado tearing through a small town in Indiana Sunday, one that sent debris flying through the air and pummeled dozens of homes – as the storms have left at least one person dead.
The severe storms ran through a number of states Sunday afternoon but tornado activity was only seen in Indiana, as it touched down just south of Indianapolis in Johnson County.
Authorities received their first call of a structural collapse at around 4:15 p.m. local time after several on social media posted videos of a large twister.
The tornado moved through the region in about 15 minutes, causing damage across a four-mile area.
No one was killed or hurt from that tornado, but officials in just one town in Johnson County reported at least 75 homes with ‘moderate to severe’ damage.
