Evan Webb, a meteorologist for NWS, confirmed that the tornado was underneath Underwood in Henryville, Indiana. This is in Clark County.
Webb said the winds reached an estimated 90 mph. He made sure to note that the tornado's rating can change due to officials still surveying other locations.
Officials also confirmed a second tornado east of Salem. Crews say straight line winds of 80 mph caused damage just east of Salem.
The survey team has multiple other locations to survey, so officials said there is no idea yet on path lengths, widths, or the total number of tornadoes.
NWS Louisville confirmed an EF-1 tornado was also confirmed in Henry County, Kentucky near Port Royal.
In a post on Facebook, the Clark County Emergency Management Agency said a severe thunderstorm warning was issued by the National Weather Service (NWS) for portions of the county around 4:30 a.m. Saturday.
Since 5 a.m., first responders said they have responded to 35 weather related calls for service in the northeastern area of the county, specifically in the Henryville and New Washington areas. They have received reports of trees and power lines down.
Officials said fire and highway department personnel are currently working to clear storm debris from the roads, and utility companies are working to restore power to 113 people. They already restored power to nearly 1,700 people.
In a post on Facebook, Clark County REMS said crews are still dealing with broken poles and fallen trees. They urged people to not attempt to remove any debris from power lines, because it is "incredibly dangerous."
"We know you are trying to help, but any of those lines could be energized and deadly. Wait for the professionals to arrive."
