In any given year, dozens of tornado warnings are likely to be issued in Indiana. Some of these result in confirmed tornadoes while others do not. A rare type of tornado warning - a tornado emergency - is reserved for high-end events where a particularly dangerous tornado is known to be on the ground.
Since 2002, there have been 3 tornado emergency days here - 9/20/2002, 10/18/2007 and 3/2/2012. In many cases, only follow-up statements and not the original tornado warning contained the emergency wording. Warnings/statements containing the emergency wording and counties affected are listed below.
