There are reports of damage across the Tri-State after Tuesday's severe weather, including fallen trees, blocked roads and downed power lines.
The National Weather Service confirmed that one tornado touched down in Franklin County, Indiana. The NWS said it has been determined as an EF1.
Our crew on the scene at The Hickory Woods Campground near Brookville, Indiana said the tornado came from the back of the campground damaging buildings as it moved toward Indiana Highway 101 and residential neighborhoods.
A resident told us hundreds of people can't access their homes because the roads are blocked and unsafe.
Only one road is open near the campground.
The president of the campground said it was time to work on clearing the roads and determining the damages of each property.
And it was all hands on deck.
Radar also confirmed that two tornadoes touched down in Warren County Tuesday just after 10 p.m. One tornado hit the ground just east of Lebanon while another hit southwest of Mathers Mills.

Our crew on the scene in Lebanon Wednesday afternoon said the damage was isolated.
There were fallen trees, property damage and a smashed vehicle.
Damage was also reported in Morrow near Mason Morrow Millgrove Road in Warren County.
We saw fallen trees, downed power lines and debris in the road early Wednesday morning.
The road was blocked and impassable.

Crews were on the scene working to clear the area.
A ring doorbell camera also captured what appears to be a large funnel cloud in the distance near Stillwell Beckett Road in Oxford.
A grain silo also toppled over and was ripped apart during the storms in Reily Township.
One of three silos fell, got tangled in power lines and knocked out some of the power in the area.
We talked to Holly Mullen, a woman who lives in the area. Mullen said she was home alone with her pets when the storm hit.
The destroyed silo got thrown into her backyard.
"Both the front door and the back door came open at the same time just out of nowhere it felt like a train was going through my home you could feel the whole entire house shake it felt like the whole house was gonna come up," Mullen said.
