The Martin County authorities in Indiana, where casualties occurred, stated, "Around 8 p.m. on the 25th, a farm house in the jurisdiction was swept away by a tornado, resulting in the death of a man inside the house at the scene, and a woman who was with him was injured and taken to the hospital."

According to videos and photos posted by witnesses on SNS, a huge whirlwind swept through the residential area, scattering building debris and fragments everywhere. The area swept by the tornado was devastated as if it had been bombed.

Among these, some areas reported hail the size of baseballs along with the tornado. The U.S. National Weather Service Storm Prediction Center announced that it issued about 400 storm-related and about 200 hail-related weather warnings that day. The National Weather Service said, "It is very rare for a powerful tornado, hurricane-level winds, and large hail to occur simultaneously."

Meanwhile, the United States has recently suffered significant damage due to severe weather such as tornadoes accompanied by strong winds and heavy rain. On the 21st, in the Midwest regions including Texas and Colorado, a powerful tornado and hail larger than tennis balls caused at least four deaths and 17 injuries.
