Clean up underway in Carmel after tornado CARMEL, Ind. (WISH) — Neighbors were quick to help each other clean up in Carmel following Wednesday night’s tornado. Thursday morning debris started to pile up along the curbs in the Cool Creek subdivision, just across the street from Badger Memo rial Park. Katie Vienneau and her husband were among a group of neighbors lending a hand. They were using a chainsaw to break down a tree at a house around the corner. “These are our friends,” Vienneau said. “This is a very tight-knit neighborhood. We know everybody. We’re friends with everybody. So it’s devastating to see.” Both parents were at home when the tornado warning was issued. She recalls what she heard the night before. “Sirens started going off, and we grabbed the three little kids who live upstairs and dragged them down to the basement,” Vienneau said. “We just sat down there. It was crazy winds and some hail. It was terrifying … We’re fortunate we live in a neighborhood where everybody has a basement.” Vienneau wasn’t aware of any injuries in her neighborhood. The City of Carmel says its crews are also deployed for clean-up. In a social media post city officials released some guidelines as people continue to recover.
