FRENCH LICK — As storms swept across central and south central Indiana on Sunday, many have been left with a lengthy clean up.

While it isn't believed a tornado hit French Lick, the community still suffered extensive damage from hail during the storms.

The historic atrium at West Baden Springs Hotel will be part of the lengthy cleanup.
