Good morning, this is Indianapolis Local Pulse for Saturday, April 25. We start with breaking news from last nights powerful storms that tore through our city, leaving trees down in Military Park and damage at IU Indys business school overhang. A West Side mobile home park near Garden City saw heavy destruction, with one person hospitalized, and downtown roads blocked by fallen trees along major streets. AES crews worked overnight, but nearly 11,000 customers in Mooresville and Lawrence areas lost power temporarily. IMPD reported two traffic crashes from downed lines, though no tornado touched down per National Weather Service updates.

Those storms have cleared, setting us up for a sunny mild day with temps in the 70s, perfect for cleanup and weekend plans along I-70. No watches today, just refreshing air after the chaos.

Shifting to our crime report, Metro police are investigating three heartbreaking break-ins overnight on the northwest side. Thieves hit Rosas All Day Cafe, Cowboy Western Wear, and El Rey Super Mercado, smashing registers and stealing over 700 dollars total. Owners suspect targeting but police say no evidence yet. They urge us not to leave cash overnight. Also, help find missing 13-year-olds Suzanne T and Calvin Patterson, last seen in black sweatshirts near Edgewood and Arlington Avenues on the southeast side, both about 5 feet tall with brown eyes.

City hall stays quiet today, but were watching school buzzWestfield Highs band draws viral support after Lieutenant Governor Micah Beckwiths voucher push, with the mayor and superintendent backing our kids hard work.

New business activity brings cleanup challenges for those northwest spots, no major openings yet. Job market holds steady around 4 percent unemployment locally. Real estate sees median homes at about 300,000 dollars, up slightly amid spring demand.

Sports quick hit: Local schools shine, like Westfield band pride. Colts prep quietly.
