Two large tornadoes tracked across southwest Indiana on Tuesday afternoon. This video package shows both wedge tornadoes. The first one occurred near Springfield, Indiana. The second one developed near Johnson, Indiana. A home was damaged by the second tornado with a roof missing and trees blocked the road.

Always great videos. I'm from Indiana and I don't miss the tornadoes. I have seen many and survived many too. It seems like the storms are bigger and much worse than they have ever been.

[@johndeeregreen4592]

Nah, we hit a peak in 2011 and the tornado intensity seems to be on a downward curve, in reality. I lived just outside of Winchester, Indiana and had the funnel for the recent Winchester EF3 go right overhead.

Prayers for these folks. 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

great footage, looked crazy in person

[@jrlikeshockey]

From Saint Louis and never seen a tornado before and that supercell or tornado is very scary 😅

[@RiverBanks38]

I am surprised! Several tornadoes have hit St Louis and around Missouri! If you live in St Louis long enough you will see one!

Wow amazing

[@vegasaviation2243]

Violent tornadoes. Looked like earlier this year during some of the bigger outbreaks.

[@tammydillard2439]

Be safe

[@leq6992]

damn, that motion at 1:05 looks crazy fast. Had to be moving 55-60 mph across the ground. Most of the damage Ive seen looks like EF1, but some of the warehouse damage in Mount Vernon looks like it could be EF2.

[@spencer3255]

This tornado was rated mid range ef2

I live about 45 mins from here

Is this the Gibson county tornado ?

[@ryanranard5187]

@@shadowwolf9503Yep

[@shadowwolf9503]

@@AnX8765 That is the Mt Vernon tornado that hit yesterday. Gibson county is just north of there. Thanks for doing the research for me. I'm an old timer- a dinosaur ! Lol. I'm not into all this modern technology. We had to use encyclopedias back in my day. You know, those ancient things called books. I'll drop a check in the mail for you.

[@spencer3255]

​@shadowwolf9503 this is the gibson county tornado, the damaged red pole barn towards the end of the video is on State Road 165 just south of Johnson in Gibson County, this tornado was the widest and longest track of the tornadoes the supercell produced, and likely the most intense overall based on velocities (would have likely been rated higher than an ef2 had it hit more structures).

@@spencer3255 Thank you. I do appreciate that info.

I saw that

Why nobody builds under?

[@yankees2010ful]

I don't think humanity can survive underground. Still need water and sunlight. How will we grow crops and get meat/ protein? Would there be enough electricity to supply demand without sunlight? Too expensive and so much uncertainty .

[@johnnyutah4077]

@@yankees2010ful One can live underground and still have water and garden above. Living underground is a place of safety when needed.

[@yankees2010ful]

@@johnnyutah4077 OK I understand your position I still have doubts especially those who are accustomed to living above ground. Making this lifestyle change may not be suitable for all but some.

[@yankees2010ful]

​@@AnX8765 then is this in reference to basements or something else? I am under the assumption people should just remain below ground.

[@spencer3255]

Ironically, a lot of them here in southwest indiana do, especially in the Princeton area, at least compared to other parts of the country
