Residents of Newton may have initially been caught off guard by Saturday’s severe weather outbreak, because the city’s emergency sirens did not go off when the city was officially under a tornado warning.

However, all other sirens in Jasper County did go off and did work properly, according to local emergency management officials.

According to the Jasper County Sheriff’s Office, the north side of the community of Newton did receive some damage from Saturday’s severe weather outbreak.

A portion of the roof was torn off TPI Composites Incorporated in Newton, according to a local spokesperson.

The sheriff’s office says several trees were downed in Kellogg and several homes were damaged in in the town of Newburg, as well.

Fortunately, local officials say there were no serious injuries reported within the county.
