St. Joseph County is upgrading its tornado siren system. Some people reported issues with the functionality of the sirens during last week's storms.

The National Weather Service has confirmed that an EF1 tornado struck Bourbon Wednesday evening.

A powerful storm that swept through Michiana on Sunday left widespread damage, and the National Weather Service has confirmed at least one tornado.

An area between Lusher and Hively avenues on Elkhart's southeast side sustained heavy tree damage shortly before 2 a.m. Tuesday, with trees falling onto homes and parked cars.
