NewsLink Indiana confirmed there to be "heavy damage within the Portland city limits," as well as confirmed damage to the roof of Jay County High School and other structures along IN-69.
NewsLink Indiana was also able to confirm damages to TK Constructors in Yorktown.
According to a statement posted to the Delaware County Indiana Emergency Management Facebook page, "This evening around 7:30pm, public safety personnel reported what appeared to be a funnel cloud in western Delaware County, north of Yorktown in the Cammack area. In an abundance of caution, Delaware County EMA set off the outdoor warning sirens. It is a rare occurrence that we set off the sirens without a National Weather Service Warning. EMA Staff surveyed reported damage in the Cammack area, and verified significant roof and partial structural damage to a large commercial structure. There has also been reported damage in the Portland area in Jay County from the same storm. We will be working with the National Weather Service to determine the type and strength of the storm."
