Power outages from Thursday’s storms stretched into the weekend for some residents. Indiana Michigan Power says damage from fallen trees in the South Bend and Elkhart areas took additional time to address.

One person was reportedly hurt, when the tornado destroyed a garage and caused roof damage at a home on Hyde Park Drive.

The Elkhart County Commissioners on Monday agreed to let the Local Emergency Planning Committee apply for a $30,000 Hazardous Material Emergency Preparedness Grant from the state for 2026.
