Summary
A likely tornado touched down near Aurora in Dearborn County shortly after midnight, leaving one reported injury, downed trees and power lines, and road closures on East Laughery Creek Road and Cole Lane.
Eight or nine homes on Drewersburg Road in Franklin County were deemed total losses, while another resident was trapped in a basement after a nearby home lost its roof; no injuries were immediately reported there.
National Weather Service crews plan damage surveys in Dearborn, Franklin and Ohio counties to determine whether the destruction came from one or more tornadoes or straight-line winds, with Boone County damage also under review.
Ohio County may have taken the brunt of the storm along State Route 56 near Rising Sun, but 911 and sheriff's office calls were not going through as residents reported a long trail of damage.
