A dangerous tornado situation unfolded near Indianapolis this afternoon after a destructive tornado touched down in the area.
Around 2:30 p.m. EDT, reports came in of a large and extremely dangerous tornado southwest of the city. The Hendricks County Emergency Management Agency reported damage to three homes in a story reported by the Associated Press.
Indiana State Police Sgt. Rich Myers told the AP that no injuries were reported.
"The threat of tornadoes has pretty much come to an end," AccuWeather Meteorologist Randy Adkins said. "Scattered showers and thunderstorms will persist through the remainder of the evening, but aside from the potential for heavy rainfall these additional storms will be fairly benign."
As of 5:27 p.m. EDT, Indianapolis Power & Light reported nearly 1,000 customers remained without power.
