PAOLI, Ind. (WDRB) -- The National Weather Service confirmed at least one tornado touched down early Morning morning in southern Indiana.
Survey teams from the NWS Louisville office said preliminary evidence shows an EF-1 tornado with 90 mile-per-hour winds touched down in Dubois County near Haysville, Indiana.
The weather service said on social media that an August tornado had not touched down in southern Indiana since Aug. 14, 2022, when an EF-1 was reported in Jefferson County, Indiana.
There were no serious injuries.
WDRB meteorologists confirmed that a radar indicated tornado also touched down overnight in Orange County, Indiana. Trees were down in several places on US 150 in Paoli. A large tree apparently snapped in the yard of one resident on that road, but, fortunately, it did not damage his home.
"I came out the wind was calm, but you could hear something coming," said Peter Bostock, who lives in Paoli. "So that’s the first time I took shelter in my whole life."
Bostock said he woke up Monday morning to find his yard littered with trees. Some were snapped, and others were uprooted. He believes a tornado caused the damage.

Across Paoli, the sun came up to reveal damage of all kinds. Sheet metal was ripped off structures, entire roofs blown off and fallen trees wiping out front porches.
"Pretty much tore up this little town," said Jason Terrell, whose truck was smashed by several trees. "... just a lot of heartbreak for local Paoli."
In Floyd County, a home was damaged by a tree toppled by the high winds. Trees were down on several other southern Indiana roads as well, blocking traffic in some cases.
