person trapped in collapsed building in Brownsburg

[speedway_navigator]

Hendricks fire ops 4, I think it's the home good warehouse at 901 E Northfield. One female trapped under debris talking to FFs, 2 unaccounted for.
Strong smell of natural gas. Lots of debris in the road.

It's the Sur La Table warehouse. I wouldn't be surprised if that place took a direct hit from a tornado.

sounds like the home goods building got hit too, 10" gas main leaking, sprinkler system damage when AC units blown off roof.

IFD's CRT Task Force is on scene, sounds like numerous additional agencies are too. I know our companies in Speedway are out there.

Also heard traffic about establishing a command post at Brownsburg Fire Territory with outside agencies to handle the sheer volume of calls coming in.

I heard Speedway put out a possible lightning strike on a home, I think it was 1700 Ellen drive. Bet your sump pumps are working overtime.

I've been driving around looking at damage most of the night. It could have been a tornado or it could have been straight line winds. The damage at the Sur La Table warehouse consisted of the wall that faces Northfield being blown in. Much of the wall is gone. Home Goods is across the street. They probably have major roof damage. A large pile of debris, about the size of a sectional sofa or small car, is sitting in the middle of Northfield between the two buildings. I think the John Force shop got damage, too, because some of the roll-up doors were up all night with lights on inside.

I found varying degrees of damage in a line from CR 150 N and 425 E to Sur La Table to CR 600 N and CR 1000 E where there was a tree down and a semi on it's side.

Beyond that, Lafayette Road is blocked between 71st Street and 79th Street. I assume power lines or tree debris. You can see large sheets of building materials like used on pole barns hanging from the power wires at Lafayette and Traders Lane.

Hearing lots of trailers at the O'Reily warehouse flipped over, 950E south of 56th street lots of damage. ARES log repeater had lots of noisy traffic during the reports last night, then I went downstairs when the tornado warning went off.

The power to the building the tornado repeater is in got shut off by mistake in January, Sprint pulled their equipment out and told Duke to shut off the meter, so they did. I met our county radio tech, highway dept supervisor and county facilities manager there to check it out, the meter is back in the county's name now.

ARES log repeater?

Tornado repeater?

What are you talking about?

 

[speedway_navigator]

I think it was the log repeater that was scratchy, tornado worked. I don't recall hearing CWID or voice on ops.

What frequencies are you talking about?
