Many people injured as tornado rips through Indiana towns

YEREVAN, MARCH 15, ARMENPRESS. Many people were injured after a tornado hit the towns of Winchester and Selma in Indiana on Thursday, but no deaths have been reported, Reuters reports citing the police.

"There have been many many significant injuries but I don’t know the number, I don’t know where they are. I don't know what those injuries are," Indiana State Police Superintendent Doug Carter told reporters at a news conference.

NBC News earlier reported, citing the state police, that three deaths had occurred in a trailer home park in Winchester.

Carter said the police had not heard of any deaths. He confirmed that the police had initially reported the deaths.

He said that some buildings and homes had been completely destroyed in Winchester and that work will begin in the morning to find if people were still trapped in those buildings.
