BROWNSBURG, Ind. — Some of Wednesday night’s storm damage in Brownsburg came from an EF2 tornado.
That’s the preliminary determination from the National Weather Service, which sent survey teams to several Indiana locations to assess damage in the wake of Wednesday’s powerful storms
NWS said the tornado hit just east of the Hendricks County community.
“Our survey team has confirmed tornado damage in Brownsburg,” the agency said. “The survey is ongoing with more details later today.”
NWS survey teams will continue their assessment to the northeast of Brownsburg and into northwest Marion County near Eagle Creek Reservoir.
The agency said earlier Thursday that it planned to send survey teams to Brownsburg (Hendricks County), Carmel (Hamilton County) and New Goshen (Vigo County) to look for signs of tornado damage.
The survey was expected to continue through Thursday and into Friday.
While the National Weather Service has not yet confirmed a tornado in Carmel, city officials said in a Thursday social media post that they’re responding to the aftermath of Wednesday’s storm.
As of Thursday morning, Carmel officials said there was no loss of life and only one reported physical injury related to Wednesday’s storm. However, the city said that there was damage to structures, trees and other personal property.
The city provided a map of where the storm reportedly hit. It started around West 96th Street and I-465 and traveled northeast, crossing U.S. 31 and heading across Keystone Parkway, East Main Street and the Hazel Dell Parkway.
Officials said residents in this highlighted area should place tree debris next to the road. The Street Department will come by and remove it.
“Please ensure all debris is placed properly by the curb for easy pickup,” the post on social media read. “This service is available only for residents within the highlighted area… When ready for pick up please notify the Street Department.”
