Episode 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. 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. Event Narrative: A propane company lost a structure to destructive thunderstorm winds. Tree limbs and leaves blanketed the city streets. Thunderstorm winds knocked trees into roads, houses, and utility lines. Power lines fell into a tree along Maple Lane where they started sparking before slipping onto a fence. A power surge resulted, shorting out five power boxes outside of homes along the lane. All of the homes were filled with smoke before firefighters got the situation under control. Each box required a technician to make repairs, and the damage should run between $200 and $800 per home. Elsewhere, trees crashed onto a vehicle on Adams Street in Franklin. Fallen trees blocked Houghham Street in Franklin and North County Road 800 East outside of Franklin, where a utility pole caught on fire. Fire from a lightning strike destroyed the roof of a home in the 8300 block of Bighorn Court. The home sustained heavy smoke and water damage throughout. Two other fires, on Key Court and Weathered Edge Drive, were relatively small and contained to the areas where they were started (no damage cost estimates available). A fallen tree, resultant of thunderstorm winds, blocked Baldwin Street in Bargersville. Elsewhere, a tree blocked the north-bound lane of State Road 135 in the Center Grove area. Trees were blown down by thunderstorm winds. A 9-inch diameter tree limb was blown down by thunderstorm winds. Trees and/or tree limbs were blown down by thunderstorm winds. These thunderstorm winds were encountered in Plainfield and on Six Points Road. A one-foot diameter tree was blown down by thunderstorm winds at County Road 200 West and United States Highway 40. A lightning strike caused significant damage to most of the second floor of a large home while water damage was throughout the home. Time of occurrence and damage cost are rough estimates. A 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.
