Storms have killed at least 32 people and injured dozens of others this weekend across numerous states, as another round of severe weather threatened the East.
In Sullivan, about a 90-minute drive southwest of Indianapolis, friends and family of the owners of South Sullivan Liquors were trying to salvage bottles from the store’s now-exposed walls on Saturday.
The scope of the damage across the city was daunting. Chief Greg Clark of the Madison Township Fire Department, one of many agencies assisting in Sullivan, said that he had been working on one street where “nothing left was livable.”
“We talked to a few residents out there that were just trying to search to see personal belongings, looking for pictures, things like that,” Chief Clark said.
