MUNCIE, Ind. — A severe storm tore through the Muncie area shortly after 10 p.m. Wednesday, leaving in its wake several damaged homes and downed power lines.

There were reports, not immediately confirmed, of funnel clouds striking the ground near Cammack, west of Muncie in the Yorktown area, as well near Nebo Road and Indiana 28.
