At least one tornado was deemed likely near the town of New Whiteland, according to Chad Swain, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Indianapolis.
He further mentioned the possibility of other tornadoes touching down in Martin and Monroe counties, with numerous homes suffering severe damage in their wake.

The relief teams are not just battling the remnants of the tornado in Greenwood, Indiana, and surrounding areas, but also working to ensure the wellbeing of the affected residents.
Providing shelter, food and water supply, health and mental health support forms the crux of their work, as stated by Stephanie Fox, a spokeswoman for the organization.
