Episode narrativeepisode_narrativeDuring the early- to mid-evening hours, the Storm Prediction Center upgraded central, and much of southern, Indiana to a moderate risk for severe weather and issued a severe thunderstorm watch for the area effective until 3 AM EST. The atmosphere was extremely unstable and the growth of any developing storms was unimpeded. A roughly west to east frontal boundary stretched from southern Nebraska to central Indiana. Dewpoints in the lower 70s F were in place along the front, contributing to strong instability. A strong shortwave trough skirted the area, enhancing coverage of storms. Winds were expected to be the primary threat, and this is what indeed ending up being the main problem in central Indiana.
Event narrativeevent_narrativeA firefighter who lives across the street saw sparks fly from the roof of a home and notified the owners. Internal damage to the house was largely from firefighters who fought flames from within. The cost of damage is a rough estimate.
