Tuesday evening Marshall County EMA Director Clyde Avery was contacted by Starke County EMA advising of a report of funnel clouds in LaPorte County near Hanna. He contacted the Marshall County Sheriff’s Department and advised them of the information and asked them to see if the fire departments would go out on weather watch.
Avery told WTCA, “I’m not sure why the sirens were activated. The National Weather Service was aware of the reports and believed they were cold air funnel clouds.” He continued, “It is my understanding that these rarely do any damage.”
