NEW ALBANY, Ind — The National Weather Service confirmed an EF-1 tornado with estimated peak winds of 105 mph caused the storm damage in New Albany on Sunday morning.
New Albany and surrounding Kentuckiana counties were hit hard by the storm and damage has been reported across the region.
The area impacted was near Indiana University Southeast on Grant Line Road. The school reported some damage around campus.
"We are assessing that [damage] Sunday afternoon along with the clean up of campus," IU Southeast Director of Communications Nancy Trafton, said. "The safety of our students, faculty and staff who might be living here on campus is of the upmost importance."
IU Southeast has graduation ceremonies scheduled for Monday but cleanup crews WHAS11 spoke with, on campus, doubt the area will be cleared by Monday.
"It's quite a bit [of damage]. They're not going to get it cleaned up -- they'll probably be here all week," Joseph Tragesser, with a local tree-clean up service, said.
The Carriage House Apartments of New Albany, across from IUS showed significant roof damage to some of its buildings.
"I've always seen it on TV, but it's totally different when you're actually going through it," Carriage House resident Tony Elmore said. "What I thought was of my daughter and family, you know, because you don' know. The next day you can be gone."
According to officials no fatalities or injuries were reported but one duplex in the complex had its entire roof ripped off in the storm.
"[When] our neighbors had no roof on their apartment building after, I just kind knew," complex resident Lily Baker said. "This one was pretty bad. I was pretty scared. I heard a big crash then I knew."
We're told by neighbors those families are displaced but suffered no physical injurioes.
The City of New Albany released a statement, "Due to a weather event, the area of Grant Line Rd near IUS and from the I-265 interchange and Klerner Lane is shut down."
City officials say the power is out, power lines are down and advised the public to stay clear of this area until further notice.
Indiana State Police said their department is also assisting after straight line winds took downs several trees and power lines in New Albany.
NWS-Louisville also confirmed a second EF-1 about 11 miles south of Grant Line Road. The roofs of two barns suffered damage at The Sporting Club at the Farm.
As of Monday morning, Duke Energy says all power has been restored to those who lost power during the storms.
