A confirmed tornado tracked through western and northern Indianapolis on Tuesday afternoon, damaging homes and forcing thousands to take shelter.

The National Weather Service (NWS) gave the storm a preliminary EF1 rating, with wind speeds up to 100 mph, with an estimated 75 to 100 homes in the metro area receiving at least minor damage. Indiana State Police Sgt. Rich Myers told the Associated Press no injuries were reported.

The twister was first spotted near Plainfield, southwest of downtown Indianapolis. At least 200 cars and a building were damaged at an auto auction site.

Buildings in the city’s commercial district were also hit. One house was heavily damaged when a camper was tossed onto its roof, destroying the camper and leaving a large hole in the home. Nearly two dozen homes in Hendricks County were damaged, according to the NWS Indianapolis storm survey.

The Wayne Township Fire Department said three homes in the Cameron Meadows subdivision, near the Marion County line, were seriously damaged, while several more sustained less substantial damage.

“We were fortunate that a lot of people had gone to work and the people that were home had received extensive warnings,” Mike Pruitt, Wayne Township Fire Capt., told the Associated Press.

The most significant damage in the city of Indianapolis was along Raceway Road, where a pair of homes had their roofs removed, according to NWS Indianapolis.

The tornado lasted only about eight minutes, however, some tree damage was observed as far northeast as the suburb of Speedway.
