(Ripley County, Ind.) - Some strong storms caused some tense moments late Tuesday night.

A tornado was at one point believed to have touched down near Butlerville in Jennings County just after 10:00 p.m. The National Weather Service has not confirmed whether it was indeed a tornado.

No major damage reports were received after the storm blew into Ripley County.

The storms did bring some heavy rains, which triggered a flash flood warning and caused part of State Road 262 to flood overnight.

By Wednesday morning, Southeastern Indiana REMC and Duke Energy were reporting a miniscule number of power outages in the tri-state.

A chance of thunderstorms remains in the forecast Wednesday afternoon into the evening, according to the National Weather Service forecast. Skies are expected to clear for the later part of the week and into the weekend.
