Two injured following reports of tornadoes across northern Indiana

A tornado left two people injured when a horse and buggy tipped over near Ligonier on Tuesday afternoon.

Around 4:30, multiple weather spotters reported a tornado causing damage in Noble and LaGrange counties. The LaGrange County EMA says 28,000 chickens also got loose from a food processing company.

Another twister reportedly touched down near Mishawaka.

The National Weather Service is sending crews out today to determine the strength of the tornadoes.

The Weather Service issued Tornado Warnings for Noble, LaGrange, and Steuben counties, lasting until around 6:15 p.m.

“It’s a little easier to confirm tornadoes when you have video,” said Megan Dodson of the National Weather Service in Northern Indiana. “Video helps rule out straight-line winds, allowing us to confirm if it was a tornado.”

The tornado near Ligonier was captured on video by weather spotters and observed at 4:25 p.m., moving northeast, according to the National Weather Service.

“We did have an active spring,” Dodson said. “This is one of the most active seasons that I can remember, including this outbreak here.”
