Summary
An EF2 tornado tracked through Dearborn, Ohio and Boone counties early Thursday, the National Weather Service said, confirming the storm that local officials had earlier described as a major weather event.
One person was injured but refused medical treatment, while emergency crews checked residents, secured roads and utilities, and collected damage reports.
Cole Road showed the storm’s impact, with trees down, damaged buildings, power outages and at least one home, garage and nearby barns heavily damaged or destroyed.
The confirmation sharpens the picture from initial reports that a tornado had likely hit southeastern Indiana, where severe storms had already caused broader damage, road closures and home losses in nearby counties.
