Pence, Holcomb To View Kokomo Tornado Damage Thursday

Indiana Gov. Mike Pence says he'll tour Howard and Montgomery counties and possibly other areas Thursday to assess the storm damage.

Pence and Holcomb will arrive at the GM Plant on 2100 East Lincoln Rd. at 10:00 a.m. Thursday.

The Republican vice presidential candidate returned to Indiana from the campaign trail Wednesday evening after the National Weather Service said several tornadoes struck the state. One that hit Kokomo has been determined to be an EF3 with 165 mph winds.

Pence says he'll remain in the state as long as necessary to ensure people affected by the storms have the support they need. He says 200 people have checked in to a Red Cross shelter in Kokomo.

Indiana State Police spokesman Capt. David Bursten says about a dozen people were injured, but none seriously.
