I have always had a fear that one day a large tornado would hit Indianapolis on Race Day and go right through there.

The destruction and even loss of life could be so great :(

Now in Southern Morgan County. That is the county just West of Johnson!!

15 PM EST SUN MAY 30 2004

THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE IN INDIANAPOLIS HAS ISSUED A

* TORNADO WARNING FOR...
SOUTHERN MORGAN COUNTY IN CENTRAL INDIANA
NORTHWESTERN MONROE COUNTY IN SOUTH CENTRAL INDIANA

* UNTIL 200 PM EST

* AT 115 PM EST...NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE DOPPLER RADAR INDICATED A
SEVERE THUNDERSTORM CAPABLE OF PRODUCING A TORNADO NEAR

THE SAFEST PLACE TO BE DURING A TORNADO IS IN A BASEMENT. GET UNDER A
WORKBENCH OR OTHER PIECE OF STURDY FURNITURE. IF NO BASEMENT IS
AVAILABLE...SEEK SHELTER ON THE LOWEST FLOOR OF THE BUILDING IN AN
INTERIOR HALLWAY OR ROOM SUCH AS A CLOSET. USE BLANKETS OR PILLOWS TO
COVER YOUR BODY AND ALWAYS STAY AWAY FROM WINDOWS.

IF IN MOBILE HOMES OR VEHICLES...EVACUATE THEM AND GET INSIDE A
SUBSTANTIAL SHELTER. IF NO SHELTER IS AVAILABLE...LIE FLAT IN THE
NEAREST DITCH OR OTHER LOW SPOT AND COVER YOUR HEAD WITH YOUR HANDS.



They have sighted a tornado west of Bloomington. Heading for the Sweedway (Or my county)

The County Indianapolis is in is Marion
