Tornado Strikes Indianapolis Area

Luke 21:7 “Teacher,” they asked, “when will all this happen? What sign will show us that these things are about to take place?” Luke 21:11 "There will be great earthquakes, and there will be famines and epidemics in many lands, and there will be terrifying things (that which strikes terror), and great miraculous signs in the heavens."

A severe storm dropped a tornado onto a town close to Indianapolis, Indiana Tuesday damaging homes and leaving thousands without power.

National Weather Service meteorologists say the tornado hit the town of Plainfield, about 17 miles west of Indianapolis. Hendricks County Emergency Management says three homes were destroyed including one that had the roof caved in when a camper picked up by the twister dropped on it.

The storm then struck the southwest part of Indianapolis.

The city’s public safety director, Troy Riggs, said that emergency officials received reports of downed trees and damage to houses. Power lines were knocked down leaving thousands without power into the evening.

Several roads were also flooded as a result of heavy rains.
