A family in northern Indiana narrowly avoided disaster when they rescued their dog from their backyard just moments before a tornado tore through the area earlier this month. Anthony Stanley and his son rushed outside to bring their dog inside, saving it from the destruction that followed as the winds destroyed the kennel and adjacent storage shed. The tornado, classified as an EF-1 with 110 mph winds, struck the city of Gary, Indiana, where more than 67,000 people reside. This tornado was part of a series of severe weather events that hit the Mississippi Valley and the South, resulting in numerous deaths and extensive property damage.
Severe weather continued to impact Indiana this week as heavy downpours and hail were reported in the Midwest. Additionally, the West Coast is facing potential tornadoes in the Pacific Northwest as another weather system brings severe thunderstorms, heavy showers, and strong wind gusts. Forecasters predict at least 2 inches of hail could impact the region until Thursday morning, with the system eventually reaching the Northern Rockies and Southern California by Thursday evening. This series of severe weather events serves as a reminder of the importance of being prepared and taking quick action to protect loved ones and pets from natural disasters.
