Storms cut swath of damage through Indiana; fatalities reported

On Sunday, March 30, 2025, a line of strong storms moved through Indiana, producing high winds and prompting tornado warnings across the state.
The storms were part of a Weather Impact Alert Day, with reports of over 300 instances of wind and hail damage throughout the state.
The storms brought winds as high as 80 mph, hail, flooding rain, and lightning, resulting in downed trees and power lines, damage to homes, and road closures, particularly in northwest Indiana and the Michiana area.
Wind speeds reached 80 mph in Valparaiso, and one person reported that they had just 90 seconds to evacuate their heavily damaged home in Roselawn, near the Newton-Jasper County line; at Chicago O'Hare Airport, travelers experienced average delays of 33 minutes.
At least two fatalities were reported: a 34-year-old man named Jagbir Singh from Ontario, Canada, died in Valparaiso after a semi-truck was blown over, and another person died in Elkhart County when strong winds blew over an Amish buggy, leaving more than 112,000 customers without power across the state as the storms moved east towards Ohio.
