INDIANAPOLIS — Tornadoes and funnel clouds in a slow-moving storm sent people into safe spaces Friday night in counties northwest of Indianapolis, but little damage and no injuries have been reported.
The National Weather Service is expected to later confirm the tornadoes with surveys.
The first report of a tornado on the ground came before 8:30 p.m. Friday from northeast of Dayton in Tippecanoe County, near the Carroll-Tippecanoe county line. Tippecanoe County authorities said a barn on East County Line Road was damaged, and a tree fell on a pickup truck. Power lines were down in the area.
