Several tornadoes were reported across multiple Indiana counties on Tuesday, including a large one spotted near Ligonier.

The National Weather Service issued Tornado Warnings for Noble, LaGrange, St. Joseph and Cass counties,.

“It’s a little easier to confirm tornadoes when you have video,” said Megan Dodson of the National Weather Service in Northern Indiana. “Video helps rule out straight-line winds, allowing us to confirm if it was a tornado.”

The tornado near Ligonier was captured on video by weather spotters and observed at 4:25 p.m., moving northeast, according to the National Weather Service.

“We did have an active spring,” Dodson said. “This is one of the most active seasons that I can remember, including this outbreak here.”

LaGrange EMA says two people were hurt when a horse and buggy flipped over in the storm.

28,000 chickens also got out of a food processing plant that was damaged.

In the Mishawaka area, a confirmed tornado also caused tree and sign damage in the area of Main Street and Edison Lakes Parkway.
