National Weather Service requests Monday night storm reports – Indianapolis News | Indiana Weather | Indiana Traffic

INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — The National Weather Service in Indianapolis is asking Hoosiers to report damage caused by severe storms that moved through central Indiana late Monday night.

NWS Indianapolis put out a call for information Tuesday morning in a post titled, “Seeking Storm Reports – Investigations Possible.”

“There have been a few reports of suspected tornadoes, but we are seeking additional information from other parts of the area — all suspected damage, not just possible tornadoes,” the weather service wrote on X.

The weather service said the storms brought heavy rainfall and “isolated reports of possible tornado damage.”

There is also suspected tornado damage near the town of Perkinsville on the Hamilton-Madison County border, with a possible touchdown “east-southeast of New Castle.”

NWS Indianapolis says there are three primary areas of concern:

  • Arcadia/Anderson/New Castle Line
  • Southeast Rush County
  • Clay City/Worthington/Bedford Line

Ways to Report

Be sure to include the location of the weather event, such as 5 miles northwest of Columbus. You may also want to indicate whether you are a trained spotter, an amateur radio operator, a member of law enforcement, or some other affiliation.
