Two men were killed when a massive line of tornadoes moved through the tiny town of Holton, Indiana on Friday afternoon. 

59 year old Ron Pickett was found in the rubble of his home by his friend and neighbor.  Another man, Armando Hernandez, a native of Mexico said to be in his 20's, also died.  Indiana State Police tell us six residents were transported for treatment-two people suffered life-threatening injuries.

Homes there are flattened in that small town. Roads into and out of this town are closed.  The emergency officials says at least 20 homes suffered damage.  An elementary school is being used as a shelter tonight.
