LAFAYETTE, Ind. (AP) — Many central and southern Indiana communities faced scattered road flooding and power outages after strong thunderstorms swept across the state.
The National Weather Service has flood warnings in effect Tuesday morning for much of the Indianapolis area south to around Columbus, where officials helped people from some homes surrounded by floodwaters. No injuries were immediately reported.
The weather service plans to survey the Lafayette area for a possible tornado. Meteorologist Mike Koch (KAWSH') says there was wind rotation in the storms around Lafayette.
Power companies reported about 50,000 homes and businesses without electricity Tuesday, while downed trees also damaged some homes.
Indiana State Police advised motorists to avoid Interstate 65 near Seymour because water was moving across the roadway. Boone County officials also reported roads flooded and blocked by trees.
