| Episode narrativeepisode_narrative | During 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_narrative | Lightning was blamed as the cause of a fire that destroyed an Elizabethtown house. The fire was discovered by a passer-by at about 4:39 AM EST, according to the fire department. The department estimated the fire caused at least $350,000 in damage to the house and contents. The fire was believed to have been burning for some time before it was discovered as evidenced by the entire front of the house, and halfway inside, being engulfed in flames. The owners were at work at the time of occurrence. |
