tornado in mitchell?
Written by jlgaddis on April 4, 2006 – 2:51 pm -Sunday night we got some pretty good storms around here (“here” being Bloomington, Indiana). I’m from Mitchell, Indiana, 40 minutes to the south, a small town of about 4,500 people. Late last night, I heard on the Indianapolis news that there was some pretty extensive damage in Mitchell. Did I mention that 98% of my family still live there?
Well, I headed down to Mitchell to help do some “clean up” work. About the time I was getting ready to head back to Bloomington, I realized I had my digital camera in my truck, so I drove around a bit more and snapped some photos of the storm damage in Mitchell.
According to the Bedford Times-Mail, Mitchell Mayor Butch Chastain stated that a National Weather Service employee told him that it was an F-1 tornado that came through Mitchell, thought the National Weather Service has yet to confirm that.
