Three tornadoes from Saturday storm cause damage across Central Indiana
How to remember tornado watch vs. tornado warning
Here’s the most Indiana way possible to remember the different tornado terms – a pork tenderloin sandwich.
Saturday’s potent storm dropped three confirmed tornadoes in Central Indiana, causing widespread wind damage and cutting power to thousands of homes.
The National Weather Service confirmed the tornadoes, each classified EF-1 on the Enhanced Fujita scale that measures the force of the twisters, in Daviess, Jackson, and Parke counties. Each tornado touched down in Saturday’s early hours, with the last and smallest observed at 5:14 a.m.
An EF-1 tornado is considered moderate, with winds of 86-110 mph.
Central Indiana remains under a hazardous weather outlook through Sunday night, with the potential for localized flooding from brief, heavy rain possible this morning, according to the NWS.
With the threat of tornadoes in Central Indiana in the rear view for now, here’s a look at what the NWS said about Saturday’s storm and the remaining weekend weather, which could turn toward snow before the workweek returns.
Daviess County tornado throws debris ‘at least a mile’
This tornado cut a nearly 14-mile path west of Loogootee early Saturday, causing significant damage to a farm due to winds that peaked at 110 mph.
Several metal outbuildings at the farm were damaged, and a piece of lumber was driven through the windshield of a semitruck, according to NWS. Two large grain bins were destroyed, with debris thrown “at least a mile northeast.”
The tornado also uprooted trees and caused additional roof and siding damage to nearby houses. Once the tornado dissipated, straight-line winds still caused damage, including through Loogootee, home to roughly 2,600 residents.
No injuries were associated with the tornado, according to NWS.
Saturday’s tornado in Parke County damages structures
With peak winds of 110 mph, this tornado touched down for a little more than 2.5 miles near Mecca, according to NWS. Its path was mostly through rural woods, but it destroyed a small garage and severely damaged a 150-year-old barn, according to the weather service.
Several nearby residences sustained tree and pole barn damage, but no injuries were associated with the tornado.
Jackson County tornado tears away mobile home roof
The smallest of the three confirmed tornadoes, this twister touched down for more than 2 miles south of Brownstown. The NWS estimated its peak winds at 105 mph, which tore the roof off a mobile home and collapsed its walls.
No associated injuries were reported.
Indianapolis Sunday weather: Wet with a chance of snow
Central Indiana’s continued cooldown could drop the temperature into the upper 20s by Sunday night, bringing with it a chance of overnight snow.
While there’s little to no snow accumulation expected, expect a soggy Sunday with showers likely before 5 p.m. and the temperature continuing to drop throughout the day.
The upcoming week looks to include spring’s typical mixed bag of weather, with Tuesday’s daytime high expected to crest to 69 degrees before rain and cooler, more seasonable temperatures extend through the later part of the week.

Indiana Pacers exec apologizes to fans after losing first-round pick
Candace Parker, Cynthia Cooper share thoughts on Knicks playoff run
USAT’s Sam Cardona-Norberg asks WNBA legends Candace Parker and Cynthia Cooper to give their thoughts on the Knicks hot playoff run.
Sports Seriously
The Indiana Pacers lost 63 games this season for a chance at a franchise-changing lottery pick. On Sunday, May 10, they lost that chance, too.
All Pacers president Kevin Pritchard could do was apologize for taking the risk.
Indiana’s pick landed at No. 5 in the 2026 NBA Draft Lottery, one spot outside the top four protections attached to a midseason trade. The selection now belongs to the Los Angeles Clippers .
Shortly after the results were announced, Pritchard took social media and apologized.
“I’m really sorry to all our fans,” Pritchard wrote. “I own taking this risk. Surprised it came up 5th after this year. I thought we were due some luck.”
The Pacers entered the lottery with a 52.1% chance of securing a top-four pick after finishing 19-63, the second-worst record in the NBA. It wasn’t enough.
Indiana sent Bennedict Mathurin, Isaiah Jackson, a 2028 second-round pick and a 2029 first-round pick to Los Angeles in the midseason deal for Ivica Zubac and Kobe Brown, along with the conditional 2026 first-rounder. The pick was theirs to keep only if it landed in the top four.
Zubac appeared in just five games for Indiana after the trade because of a fractured rib.
“This team deserved a starting center to compete with the best teams next year,” Pritchard wrote. “We have always been resillient.”
Pritchard will have to be resilient if he looks at the replies to his statement. About half of the Pacers fans’ comments were not happy, and fans of other teams called him out for “tanking.”
There were also a large number of fans who were supportive of Pritchard taking that risk.
Tyrese Haliburton is expected to return next season after tearing his Achilles in last year’s NBA Finals. The Pacers will have him Pascal Siakam and a roster they think is built to compete. They just won’t have that first-round pick to add to it.
The 2026 NBA Draft begins June 23 in Brooklyn.

Why Caitlin Clark went back to Indiana Fever locker room in season opener
Caitlin Clark explains what she learned from injury in Indiana Fever season
Caitlin Clark spoke for seven minutes on the opening day of Indiana Fever training camp. Here’s what she learned from an up-and-down season, and more.
INDIANAPOLIS — Caitlin Clark has some new strategies to help keep her loose throughout games, and one garnered a lot of attention in the Indiana Fever’s season opener against the Dallas Wings.
Saturday was Clark’s first regular season WNBA game since July 2025, when she suffered a right groin injury against the Connecticut Sun. She was limited to just 13 games last season because of various injuries that compounded and lingered throughout the season, including to her left groin, right groin, left quad, and ankle.
Clark, who finished with 20 points, five rebounds and seven assists in 30 minutes, went back to the Fever’s tunnel twice throughout the 107-104 loss, and she said postgame it was just to get her back readjusted. It’s something new for the Fever star after she missed most of last season because of various injuries, but she didn’t report any major issues with her back.
“It gets out of line pretty quickly,” Clark said. “It’s just that, getting my back put back in place a little bit, but other than that, I feel great.”

Clark also started wearing a heat therapy pad on her back as well when she’s on the bench, but that doesn’t automatically mean an injury, either. Former Fever player Natasha Howard wore one while sitting on the bench the entire 2025 season, and she did not miss a game.
These back issues, Fever coach Stephanie White said, shouldn’t keep her out of the game.
“We wouldn’t have played her 30 minutes if she wasn’t OK,” White said.
Clark’s response postgame came after ABC’s commentators reported in-game that trainers were working on Clark’s hip flexor and groin area — the same that kept her out of most of the 2025 season. When asked about ABC’s in-game report, White said: “That would be the first time I’ve heard that.”
Fever communications staff added that they did not provide an official update to ABC on why Clark left for the tunnel, so everything reported on the broadcast in-game was speculation.
“I think it’s just part of maintaining the body,” White added of the tunnel trips. “… I mean, look, when we’re all really young, we don’t learn proper mechanics, and then it doesn’t get exposed until something happens, and we’re trying to get her body mechanically the way it needs to go. This is gonna be an ongoing thing, and not just her. We’ve had multiple players who have gone back, and we don’t have a blue tent, right, but they’re gonna go back and get it adjusted and make sure that the body’s working.”
