An organized west-to-east line of early morning thunderstorms tracked from east-central Illinois into central Indiana.  Strong upper level winds and ample vertical wind shear combined with adequate instability to produce severe winds generally parallel to, and north of Interstate 70.  Strongest winds were found where the wind shear was best oriented to the squall line's progression:  across the Indianapolis metro area and points east.  A gustnado in Anderson (Madison County) also caused minor damage.  The episode's strongest winds likely occurred in the evening when a more isolated thunderstorm impacted Rush County.
