CLARKSVILLE, Ind. — Many families in southern Indiana are still trying to process the damage after Tuesday's storm. During that storm, powerful winds knocked down trees and power poles, causing many to lose electricity throughout the night.
John Gordon, with the National Weather Service, confirmed an EF-0 tornado touched down in Clarksville.
"Right now we have a tornado it's an EF-0, [with wind speeds of] 80 miles per hour," he said. "It could've been a lot worse, the radar was screaming."
Walking along the streets of the Silver Lakes Pointe mobile home park, there are several branches on the ground, power poles on top of trailers, and residents looking at each other for strength.
Eldena Wilson, who has lived in the neighborhood for 27 years, still can't believe her eyes.
"It's just sad, and people don't have shelter anymore," she said.
The storm knocked out power to her house for almost 24 hours. She said the strong winds blew so hard; it popped out the side of her trailer.
Other neighbors who were outside cleaning up told WHAS11 they were shocked at how hard the tornado hit their neighborhood. One man saying it picked up the back end of his trailer and shook his car. Another man had a tree fall directly on top if his trailer. Thankfully, no injuries were reported.
Back in Louisville, many residents asked about the tornado warning sirens.
Those sirens were going off even though there was no longer a warning in our area.
Emergency officials told WHAS11 the sirens are activated county-wide and not just in the area of the warned storm because crews want everyone to know there is potential for a tornado, including those traveling around the area.
