4 p.m. – Strong winds knocked trees into a home near West 46th Street and Kessler Boulevard North Drive on the northwest side of Indianapolis around 2:30 p.m.

3:30 p.m. – 13News reporter Samantha Johnson reports winds are picking up in Morgan County.

Sandbags are available to residents at the Morgan County Fairgrounds – near Sunrise Street – and at the Mooresville Streets Department.

“As much as possible, stay out of the roads. Let us have room to do what we need to do. If you see water in the roadway, please don’t go through that,” Morgan County Highway Supt. Eddie Fisher said. “Rivers run right through the middle of every part of the county. It’s hard to keep up with this. The water takes quite awhile to get out of the ditches and the creeks when this takes place.”

The department has already been working in preparation of the storms.

“We have checked the flood gates and made sure the keys and everything are working on the gates. The gates don’t have any problems,” Fisher said. “There will be trees falling during this time as well. That’s always a problem because we’re in a wooden area.”

Winds are really starting to pick up in Morgan County.

Please keep an eye on @SeanAshWX & @angelabuchman as we move through this afternoon & evening.

3:15 p.m. – Morgan County Emergency Management Agency shared safety tips ahead of the storms.

“A lot of our county is a flood plain, so we do have that increased potential for flooding any time there is a lot of rain,” Morgan County EMA director Abby Worth said. “If you are in the flood plain area or you know you have home flooding, please make sure to get sandbags ahead of time and make that barrier as best you can.”

Worth said it’s always better to be safe than sorry when it comes to preparing for severe weather.

“We always err on the side of caution. We would much rather get everyone as much information as possible and make them as aware as possible, so that you can make the right choices for you,” Worth said.

🌩Prepare NOW for potentially dangerous weather in Morgan County!🌩 Numerous severe thunderstorms and ALL severe hazards…
