The weather service rated Wednesday morning’s tornado near Mitchell in Lawrence County as an EF-2 on the Enhanced Fujita scale with maximum wind speeds of 130 mph. The weather service says the tornado was on the ground for about a half mile.
Reported damage included at least three collapsed metal chicken barns and damaged some outbuildings. No injuries were reported.
Meanwhile, crews worked to determine the strength of a tornado in southwestern Indiana’s Posey County that damaged homes. Officials have said the damage apparently was caused by the same deadly tornado that struck adjacent White County, Illinois, and killed a man.
