Good morning, Terre Haute.

Two years ago on March 31, a devastating EF-3 tornado struck Sullivan—taking multiple lives and leaving lasting damage that still makes residents fearful of storms.

Severe weather is forecast for Wednesday, which adds to the community's ongoing concerns.

The Terre Haute Boys and Girls Club will host its derby-inspired Brims and Bowties Gala on May 3 at the Terre Haute Casino Resort to raise funds for kids' programs and staff training.

Guests will enjoy live music, food, and games (and a silent auction) during the event from 4:30 to 8:30 p.m.

Two people were injured after a crash on U.S. 41 at Old Royse Road Friday afternoon—one was flown to an Indianapolis hospital—while a flood watch is in effect from Wednesday evening through Sunday morning as heavy rainfall is forecast to cause flash flooding in low-lying areas.

Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology announced a major renovation of Speed Hall — its first-year residence hall from 1963 — funded by significant gifts to update student housing.

A flood watch is in effect for central and surrounding areas from Wednesday evening through Sunday morning as heavy rainfall may cause street and river flooding.

Starting today, Vigo County is hosting its annual tire amnesty where residents must call ahead and drop off old tires for recycling at 1241 Seventh Avenue between 8:30 a.m. and 3:30 p.m., Monday through Friday until May 2nd—this free program helps prevent mosquito breeding by recycling tires instead of sending them to landfills.

The Vigo County Commissioners are aggressively pursuing a multi-million-dollar grant from the Indiana Department of Mental Health and Addiction (DHMA) to fund construction for a Community Corrections expansion.

The project (costing $35M to $40M and set to double bed space to help reduce jail overcrowding) will see its grant application process begin this summer.

Mental Health America of West Central Indiana got a federal grant to give short-term rental help to people who are now or were once in the criminal justice system in Vigo County—this aid helps them secure housing in a tough market.

CEO Myra Wilkey said the funds, set aside by Congress in 2023, will be a short-term fix to help them get back on their feet—she expects the grant to stay in the budget for a while.
