The town might be Henryville, Indiana, where the high school was reported to be destroyed.

History of Henryville

The town of Henryville was established in 1850, originally as the village of Morristown. It was renamed Henryville in 1853 to honor Colonel Henry Ferguson. It was an early stop for the Pennsylvania Railroad.

Henryville is the birthplace of "Colonel" Harland Sanders, founder of Kentucky Fried Chicken.

Henryville is the setting of the 2007 song "Up In Indiana" by Lyle Lovett and his Large Band. The song likely refers to Henryville Correctional Facility.

The area suffered significant damage on March 2, 2012 during a serious tornado outbreak (already on Wikipedia!!).

Kind of hard to wrap my head around the thought of winter tornadoes-how very terrible and so damned destructive!

.....they found out who the baby was. Then they found out that the rest of the toddler's immediate family had died in the tornado.

Heard that on the news last night.... I couldn't keep from crying.
