Tornado

The National Weather Service says a tornado touched down in Gary Tuesday night. It touched down near Cline Avenue and Industrial Highway north of the Gary/Chicago International Airport around 9:15 p.m., according to information shared on NOAA's Damage Assessment Toolkit Viewer.

Lake County could get federal aid for the recovery from last month's tornado.

The town of Merrillville says it's seeking a disaster declaration, following last week's tornado. That would let the town and its residents get financial help to repair the damage — like Federal Emergency Management Agency funding, U.S. Small Business Administration loans and help from the State Disaster Relief Fund.

Cleanup continues after a tornado struck the Merrillville area Friday. The town says its trash hauler, Waste Management, will place dumpsters in the Forrest Hills and Madison Meadows neighborhoods. It's also planning additional pickups.
