Episode narrativeepisode_narrativeDuring the morning and afternoon of the 21st, a large thunderstorm complex moved from the upper Mississippi Valley southeast into the southern Wisconsin and northern Illinois area, producing severe weather and flooding. The complex gradually weakened as it tracked into the northern Wabash Valley during the evening, producing gusty winds to the northwest of Indianapolis before it diminished. This would be the start of an active period for central Indiana, with rain and thunderstorms impacting portions of the area for the rest of the month. The region remained on the fringe of a strong ridge aloft centered over the central Plains with scattered thunderstorms developing as upper level waves tracked along the periphery of the ridge and across the Ohio Valley. The development of an upper low across the region by the end of the month continued the daily threat for rain and thunderstorms. Isolated to scattered severe thunderstorms impacted central Indiana each afternoon and evening from the 22nd through the 27th. Some of the storms moved across the same areas on the 25th and 26th, producing 2 day rainfall totals over 7 inches.
Event narrativeevent_narrativeWISH-TV reported that an Indianapolis Zoo guard was indirectly hit by lightning Sunday afternoon when a line of storms moved through the area. Around 3:35 p.m., a security guard standing near the administration building was hit by an indirect lightning strike, meaning the charge of the lightning strike made contact, not the bolt. Authorities say the guard was alert and all vital signs were good when he was transported. His injuries are not serious.
