EVANSVILLE, Ind. - Just eight days after a deadly tornado struck southwestern Indiana, another strong storm system rolled across the nation's midsection Tuesday, producing funnel clouds in at least three states.
The National Weather Service issued tornado watches and warnings for the Evansville area, as well as parts of Tennessee, Missouri, eastern Arkansas, southern Illinois and western sections of Kentucky.
A funnel cloud was sighted in Clay City in central Indiana but apparently remained aloft. Two funnel clouds were also reported in southern Illinois, but there were no immediate reports of damage.
In western Tennessee, a funnel cloud reportedly touched down, damaging an undetermined number of buildings in Henry and Weakley counties.
"Numerous homes there were damaged, some completely destroyed," said Faye Scott, spokeswoman for the Henry County Sheriff's Department. "It's major destruction."
Tom Cooper, police chief in Paris, Tenn., told Nashville television station WSMV that 15 to 20 people suffered minor injuries from flying debris in the community about 85 miles west of Nashville.
The National Weather Service could not immediately confirm the tornado.
Flood warnings also were posted as more than 6 inches of rain fell in parts of the Ohio River Valley.
Meteorologists said a cold front moving east and colliding with warm, unstable air was producing severe thunderstorms across the central Mississippi and lower Ohio valleys.
Dan Spaeth, a weather service forecaster, said Tuesday's conditions were similar to those that produced the tornado on Nov. 6 that caused 41 miles of damage from Kentucky into the Evansville area and killed 23 people.
The most severe damage on Nov. 6 was in a mobile home park on the eastern edge of Evansville where 19 of the victims were killed. Four other people were killed in neighboring Warrick County.
Elsewhere in the Midwest, nine tornadoes swept across central Iowa on Saturday, killing one woman.
Though severe thunderstorms and tornados are not uncommon in the fall, Spaeth said the strength of storm systems that have produced recent tornadoes suggests severe weather ahead.
"It's not usually as widespread or frequent," he said. "But if it happens once, it can happen again."

He was named after Túpac Amaru II, the descendant of the last Incan ruler, who was executed in Peru in 1781 after his failed revolt against Spanish rule. Shakur's mother Afeni Shakur explained, "I wanted him to have the name of revolutionary, indigenous people in the world.
You did help me just figure out how to prove the connection. The Aztecs(Mezcas) said their first civilization was with the Toltecs, and they called them the rubber people. And archaeologists and historians have translated rubber as meaning like what sandals were made from but this is wrong. The Aztecs called them the rubber people because they meant stone rubbers. Like how you polish stones by rubbing them against a harder stone which is how the Egyptians designed their giant stone statues. And when translated into Latin Tol-tec means builders of special houses(Pyramids).
Fascinates me!! Thank you!! I did not know where they came from, that's too much for my brain but nonetheless fascinating. (I have some videos I'll try to uncover in my files and link, rare finds).
Did the Aztecs not originate from the Mayan?
Yes and theToltecs👌in between if I recall correctly. Rubbing/er people, Tol-tec, pyramids, incredible knowledge.
Quetzacoatl, the feathered serpent is uncoiling itself from S.Am up the Ring of Fire - ushering in our new world.
I saw you write Tupak somewhere in a post. Do you know it is Quetchuan?
Do you know about the Laika?
However I helped.... that is more than a compliment in connection to this Quechua theme Seriously. My skype 'noted' language has been Quechuan since Skype was born Too funny, I felt there was some type of parallel, again.

At 24 (crow year) I spent much time in Greece's Olive groves -- it was other-worldly for me in an instant!
The bible also speaks of the Dates and Onions. (Dates would be easier) what's your take on onions? Onions spell regret therefore tears from 'le soufre' which translates to suffering or sulpher.
John 15:1 "I am the true vine and my Father is the gardener."
Sargon the Akkadian has the same story as Moses and was raised by a "Gardener." Moses was in an Ark at birth except his name was Nabonidus.
Daniel 3:1-25 King Nebuchadnezzar made an image(Ark aka Pyramid) of gold, sixty cubits high and six cubits wide. He set it up on the plain of Dura in the province of Babylon.
It was to be used to save all the authorities of the provinces from the comet strike. When the trumpets sounded they were to go to the pyramid and bow down and pray(like a tornado drill).
