It been years since I've been through Kentland, but I believe it is still mostly farmland around there. The Lafayette area has had its share of bad tornadoes (the area just northwest of Purdue between West Lafayette and Otterbein is known as a local Tornado Alley by weather forecasters). Folks around there know what a "fraidy hole" is, and they use them. With a little bit of luck, nothing was badly hit.
The crops aren't even in yet, so a good hail storm probably won't do much damage, even if a bunch of folks end up having to replace their windshields.
I know that my friend is on the North end of Lafayette, but now sure if they are west of Perdue.
