HEADS UP INDIANA !
Beach Boys deeply saddened.
Sirens going off here, as well, SE of Indy
When I lived in the Midwest it was a rare summer day when you did not have a tornado watch or warning of some type. We averaged about 3 close calls per summer in Michigan.
Praying that this tornado dissipates.

Radar. Looks like one well north of Indianapolis, and one that pops in and out just north of the city.
Somebody get to the Hip Hugger and save those gurls.
Indy fire Scanner has powerline down reports moving east along the 30th street to 56th street areas.
Indy too.
Just checked with the Storm Prediction Center website; this is not a PDS watch—that terminology is typically used with tornado watches versus warnings, and only about five percent of the watches issued annually receive the PDS designation. In layman’s terms, it means a high probability of dangerous, long-track tornadoes; residents in the watch area are well-advised to start preparing and keep an eye on the sky. In some states (Alabama for example), schools often dismiss early when a PDS watch is issued. You don’t want kids trapped in a school or on a bus when violent tornadoes are dropping from the sky.
Having said all that, “tornado emergency” is also a term that is reserved only for the most dangerous situations. Don’t see is used very often and when it is, folks in the affected area need to take shelter immediately—as opposed to running outside with a cell phone to start photographing the storm. In the very near future, we’re going to see some video with the final frames showing a large piece of debris coming straight for the camera.
Prayers up for the folks in Kokomo.
