A tornado tore across southwestern Indiana and northern Kentucky early Sunday, killing at least 22 people and injuring at least 200, according to The Washington Post.
The storm damaged hundreds of homes and knocked out power to thousands of customers. Natural gas leaks were also reported.
The tornado touched down near Henderson, Ky. and jumped the Ohio River into Indiana at around 2 a.m. The tornado developed in a line of thunderstorms that were traveling rapidly eastward across the Ohio Valley during the morning.
National Guard units were being mobilized to help with the search and recovery efforts in Indiana. This was the deadliest tornado in Indiana since April 3, 1974, when an outbreak of several tornadoes killed 47 people and destroyed 2,069 homes.
