In what was the deadliest day of tornado activity since April 8, 1988, 22 people have been killed in southwestern Indiana following a tornado early Sunday morning. The tornado touched down just before 2:00am striking in Henderson County, Kentucky, including several homes, and historic Ellis Park, where damage is extensive. One person was hurt and three horses were killed.
From there, the tornado, packing winds in excess of 200mph, crossed the Ohio River into Indiana and slammed into the Eastbrook Mobile Home Park off I-164 in Vanderburgh County. 17 people, many of them sleeping, were killed.
From there, the tornado turned its sights on nearby Warrick County, leaving a devastating path of destruction in and around Newburgh, and killed 5 people.
