Continuing from the post below… WNDU is reporting “huge trees down all over the place” in the Beverly Shores area, after a tornado hit earlier this hour. Previously, NWS spotters sighted a tornado hitting the intersections of routes 12 and 35 in Michigan City, and WNDU reported 20 downed trees lying across route 431 in Westville, and a semi truck blown over two miles north of Westville.
And now, there’s a new tornadic cell making “landfall” (off Lake Michigan), causing rotation in the Dune Acres/Chesterton area (west of Michigan City).
But we’re safe here in South Bend. WNDU’s meteorologist says: “If you live in South Bend/Mishawaka, you’re going to get a little rain, maybe a bolt of lightning, and that’s it. The worst weather is going to continue to be in our western viewing area.”
Here’s an archived animated radar view. Be patient, it takes a while to fully load.
