A huge portion of Indiana, including Allen County and its surrounding counties are under a tornado watch until 6 a.m. EDT. An ongoing severe storm system, over central Illinois when the watch was issued at 11:10 p.m. EDT, appearred likely to maintain intensity. If so, it could be capable of producing damaging wind gusts and a few tornadoes as it rapidly progresses east northeastward across the watch area overnight.
Make sure your weather alert radios are working, because if the National Weather Service issues a tornado warning, you want to make sure you’ll be awakened. A text message from your cell phone might not suffice!
