(NewsNation) — Severe storms with suspected tornadoes ripped through multiple central U.S. states, leaving homes flattened and at least three people dead, authorities said Friday. The severe weather impacted parts of Ohio, Kentucky, Indiana, Arkansas, Illinois and Missouri.

At least three people died in the Indian Lake area of Ohio’s Logan County, which is northwest of Columbus. Investigators say more bodies are likely to be discovered.

In Indiana, officials said about 40 people were injured by what’s believed to be a tornado in Winchester. At this point, there have been no known fatalities announced.

“I’m shaken; it’s overwhelming,” Bob McCoy, mayor of the town of 4,700 about 70 miles northeast of Indianapolis, told The Associated Press. “I heard what sounded like a train, and then I started hearing sirens.”

“I’ve never heard that sound before; I don’t want to hear it again,” McCoy said.

The Winchester storm also damaged a Taco Bell restaurant and a Walmart store.

West of Winchester, emergency management officials estimate as many as half the structures in Selma were damaged by a possible tornado. Minor injuries were reported in the town.

The storms also left a path of destruction in Kentucky. Trimble County Emergency Management Director Andrew Stark told the Courier Journal of Louisville that the storms damaged at least 50 structures. Gov. Andy Beshear said the town of Milton specifically had dozens of damaged buildings.

Large pieces of hail struck Arkansas and Missouri, where there were also reports of probable tornadoes. Southwest of Little Rock, storms hit the retirement community of Hot Springs Village.

According to the National Weather Service, more severe weather is expected Friday for parts of the South, with the possibility of damaging winds and isolated tornadoes.
