Watched this last night on the news. We were getting home ourselves about 55nm NE of IND and the storm was just blowing through our area also at a lesser but still high level of wind.

Very sad, but many hoosiers ran to the stage to help free people. 4 died at the scene, from what I understand the 5th was this morning while at the hospital.

Somebody said today that the carnival rides(including a ferris wheel) less than 1/2 mile to the west were still running when this happened. No other structures or tents were blown over, or damaged that has been reported.
