Indiana Tornado Warning Continues for Elizabeth as Radar-Indicated Tornado Threat Persists Until 9:45 PM EST
ELIZABETH, INDIANA — A Tornado Warning remains in effect for Elizabeth, Indiana, until 9:45 PM EST Sunday, December 28, 2025, as meteorologists warn that a radar-indicated tornado remains possible in the area. Residents are urged to take immediate safety precautions as dangerous weather conditions continue to move through southern Indiana.
What Authorities Are Reporting
According to warning data, weather radar has detected rotation within a strong thunderstorm capable of producing a tornado. While no tornado has been visually confirmed at this time, officials stress that radar-indicated tornadoes can quickly touch down with little warning.
The warning area includes Elizabeth and surrounding rural communities, where residents may experience rapidly changing conditions.
Primary Threats
- Tornado: Radar-indicated rotation detected
- Wind: Damaging straight-line winds possible
- Hail: No hail is currently expected
Even without confirmed hail, tornado-producing storms can still cause significant structural damage, uproot trees, and disrupt power lines.
Population and Infrastructure at Risk
- Estimated population: 2,856 people
- Schools: 2
- Hospitals: None within the immediate warning polygon
Because the area includes smaller communities with limited emergency infrastructure, officials emphasize the importance of personal preparedness.
What Residents Should Do Now
Emergency managers strongly recommend the following actions:
- Move to a basement or storm shelter immediately
- If no basement is available, take shelter in a small interior room on the lowest floor
- Stay away from windows
- Mobile home residents should seek sturdier shelter right away
- Monitor NOAA Weather Radio or trusted local alerts for updates
Conditions can worsen quickly, and tornadoes may develop with little to no visual warning, especially after dark.
What to Expect Next
The Tornado Warning is set to expire at 9:45 PM EST, but officials warn that additional warnings could be issued if storm rotation persists or intensifies. Residents should remain alert even after the warning expires, as severe weather may continue overnight.
