Authorities have issued a warning that more severe weather is likely to arrive later this week as the number of fatalities from severe thunderstorms in the South, Midwest, and Mid-Atlantic has increased to 26.
The Indiana Department of Natural Resources stated a couple was discovered dead at the McCormick’s Creek State Park campground after heavy storms severely destroyed the region in the most recent update of the storm’s developing death toll.
The dead, identified by the department as Rossville, Indiana residents Brett Kincaid, 53, and Wendy Kincaid, 47, were discovered after officials learned that two campers were missing. Her death is the subject of an investigation.
