Your videos are informative and provide great info for people who think about moving to a different area. I wish I discovered them before moving; I just got lucky and moved into a nice area.
I lived in southern Marion County for almost 2 years but in that time span, a significant tornado went through the south metro area. It tossed around trailers on the east side near I70 and I465.
It's in what's called "Hoosier Alley", and yes, they have their share. Cincinnati, Indianapolis, Champaign-Urbana. Indiana had a lot during the Super Outbreak of 1974. On June 2, 1990, one tracked across the southeast part of the state right into the Cincy metro area. You mentioned Alabama, we are in what's called "Dixie Alley". You talk about Dallas and OKC, but Nashville TN, 2 cities down I-65 from Indy, has has several to hit it's downtown part. Ohio, the state to your east, has their share. You also mentioned the sirens, and as true as that is, they are very, very loud, they're designed to reach people who are outdoors, not indoors. During storm, and inside you may or may not hear them, like you would on a clear, sunny day like in this video. So, you can't depend on outdoor sirens as your way of receiving the warning. A NOAA Weather Radio is the best way to get warnings inside homes, schools, businesses, etc. You're in Noblesville, which is in Hamilton County, Indiana.
Anyway you could do a video on Crawfordsville? Me and my husband are looking to move to Indiana here soon and are looking in that area! Love the videos!!
Indiana does have its own sort of mini tornado alley on the far north side of the Louisville metro from around Daisy Hill to Madison. It's a very strange thing how that area has been a tornado hot spot for a long time. The Ohio Valley isn't as prone as places like Oklahoma and Texas, or Mississippi and Alabama, but for some reason IN, KY, and OH get these huge outbreaks about once every 10 years. I don't think Indy has but both Louisville and Cincinnati have been hit by an F5 in the past.
Hey I'm from Evansville Indiana your hometown I know we don't get tornadoes much around here but can't tornadoes form around Evansville I know we don't have a lot of flat land around here just curious about it thank you very terrified of storms
Same happens down here in Puerto Rico. People tend to think we get full of hurricanes or that all hurricanes are deadly when it's not the case. Very rare to have a Cat4 or 5. 🤔🤔🤔
Great video! I’m terrified of tornadoes. At least with hurricanes we have a week to prepare, plus the “hurricane parties” where we eat all of our non perishable food (snacks, beer, and wine) well before the storm ever arrives, making riding out the storm a little more fun than it should be😂
Ha! Yes... certainly more warning with hurricanes. But, hurricanes are much much more destructive! Speaking of hurricane parties... there's a song called "Hurricane Party" by Cowboy Mouth that's super fun. Especially when played live.
Texas is a huge state. But I heard Mississippi has the most tornadoes. And also deep south have the most violent deadly tornadoes. I heard now Illnois, Indiana and Western Ohio are now part of tornado alley.
Tornados happen not as often as Oklahoma or Kansas but when they do they hit big. And they are not photogenic at all you can barely see them which makes them much more dangerous. Just be weather ware and take the warnings seriously and you will be fine.
Indiana is not part of Tornado Alley. it is part of Hoosier Alley. US has 3 "alleys" Tornado alley (plains states TX-ND) Hoosier Alley (IL-OH) and Dixie Alley (MS-AL-GA-TN)
And James Spann is going to get you for thinking a siren is a good warning system, they ain't. NEVER RELY ON A SIREN. Weather Radio is what is needed to get the warning as 1. you can't always hear the stupid sirens in the house during a storm, and 2. some areas will set the stupid siren off for just a simple severe storm warning (Anderson is bad about that)
@@kevindavis296 no "tornado alley" does not go though Illinois Indiana or Ohio. it is called HOOSIER ALLEY. just like the deep south has Dixie Alley. kocoweatherblog.files.wordpress.com/2010/05/damon41.jpg
Let’s hear about the flooding. Actually, I prefer a tornado to a flood, and it seems like one must choose the type of weather that is tolerable if living in Indiana. Regarding the hailstorms , I gotta say they are terrifying. The hail was the size of golf balls-initially I thought a plane crashed. Fortunately, haven’t experienced many; the weather in California is scarier IMO.
I was born and raised in Indianapolis. I lived there for 30 years before moving. I saw maybe 15 tornadoes maybe more. Not sure where you where but I have seen a lot. I grew up on the west side of Indy on Rockville Road. We had basements because of the tornado threat. LOL
I grew up in Indianapolis growing up in the 90’s Yes and no, Yes because they hit kinda hard when they do come, But also no because there not very common
I moved to Indy from NYC two years ago and you guys don’t have hurricanes really and that’s what I’m accustomed to, but I got freaked out when we had a tornado warning. I have a basement though, so I think my family would be a little safe. I’ve never lived anywhere where there was no mountains or water. 😅
I want to move from Phoenix to indianapolis. We don't have that in here now I am afraid and scared. Do the houses fly on the tornados 🌪 season? I mean tornados 🌪 destroy houses and cars ? People die?
From my research the tornadoes in Indianapolis are mild and don’t really cause damage. Most people from there claim they never saw a tornado before. I want to move there too. Tornadoes are worse in places like Oklahoma, Arkansas, Missouri, the northern parts of the southern states.
Hi Jason Compton, thanks for sharing your video about the tornadoes around in the Indianapolis area!

Right. There does seem to be a pocket of more activity in the area you're talking about. Not sure why that is.
That was way back in 1974 when Cincinnati was hit by an F5. No doubt that was the Xenia tornado as well.
I live in Alabama and i just go to bed good sleeping weather the wind and rain i was about 10 when in 1974 the tornadoes hit my county (limestone)
Hey I'm from Evansville Indiana your hometown I know we don't get tornadoes much around here but can't tornadoes form around Evansville I know we don't have a lot of flat land around here just curious about it thank you very terrified of storms
What part of Indiana is the least hit by tornadoes?
*Since my first tornado here in indiana twisted my head around and i now walk backwards and scream every 90 seconds, i feel fine...*
"aaaaAAAAHHHhhh..."
😐😐😐😐😐
Same happens down here in Puerto Rico. People tend to think we get full of hurricanes or that all hurricanes are deadly when it's not the case. Very rare to have a Cat4 or 5. 🤔🤔🤔
For sure.

Can you tell us what part of indiana gets tornadoes? Also, what part gets the coldest??
Tornadoes can happen anywhere in the state but are mostly center to the south. The northern parts of Indiana are colder on average than the south
They tend to be more on the North West and South side
@@LivingInIndianapolis when you say center do you mean around Indy ?
I am now scared of 🌪s
We just don't have earthquakes in California. We now have wildfire season too.
That's true
Texas is a huge state. But I heard Mississippi has the most tornadoes. And also deep south have the most violent deadly tornadoes. I heard now Illnois, Indiana and Western Ohio are now part of tornado alley.
Indiana and Ohio don’t get tornadoes real bad. They are definitely hitting the south, Oklahoma and can reach place like South Carolina.
@@missdesireindependance5194 I so heard that. Even now Alabama Georgia, Florida, Louisiana and Arkansas.
I’m from the south and this is a concern. With a hurricane you have time to drive to another town or state. How do you know when the tornado is over?
When it stops..?
Since I’m from the uk I have never experienced a tornado they must be so terrifying
I'm sure they can be. I've never experienced one personally but they have been near.

Kokomo was hit hard by a tornado it was a ef3 tornado

I heard Indiana is part of tornado alley now and so is Western Ohio.
@@kevindavis296 its not, Indiana/Ohio make up Hoosier Alley.
@@Dratchev241 Hoosier Alley??? No no I said tornado alley now goes through Illnois Indiana and Western Ohio.

Every friday first of the month at eleven o'clock the siren go off

Tornadoes can be scary!
Jason Compton, you live in Indianapolis for 24 years!
I want to move from Phoenix to indianapolis. We don't have that in here now I am afraid and scared. Do the houses fly on the tornados 🌪 season? I mean tornados 🌪 destroy houses and cars ? People die?

We haven't had a serious tornado since 2004 it didn't last very long
@@MrIamalego Ok. That’s good to know.
