BEDFORD, Ind. (AP) — The National Weather Service has confirmed that two tornadoes hit southern Indiana's Lawrence County, where about 20 homes were damaged and a school bus landed atop a building.

Those findings mean Sunday's storms spawned at least three tornadoes in the state, although no serious injuries have been reported

A weather service team on Monday determined that the strongest of the Lawrence County tornadoes hit near the community of Fayetteville and had winds of at least 135 mph. The other hit about two miles north of Bedford with wind speeds of 65 to 85 mph.

The weather service also has confirmed a tornado hit Columbia City in northeastern Indiana, destroying three trailers at a mobile home park and damaging about 20 others.

Weather service staffers were continuing their southern Indiana survey.
