| Episode Narrative | In the early morning hours tropical storm Ike was located near western Arkansas, while a slowly advancing cold front and tropical plume of moisture to the northwest helped steer Ike across Indiana during the afternoon hours. An upper level trough pushed through the great lakes overnight...pushing Ike and the cold front quickly to the northeast, with mid level drying moving in during the late evening hours. This episode generally produced the heaviest rainfall in northwest Indiana and Illinois...rather than the originally expected location of central Indiana as it moved through. The speed of the system, increasing as it neared Indiana, helped keep precipitation amounts to a manageable level. Much of southern and eastern Indiana received little or no rain from Ike???s passage. Widespread wind damage occurred however. The peak wind speed at the Indianapolis airport was 63 mph, but areas in southeast Indiana experienced gusts approaching 80 mph. Because of wind damaged corn fields, many farmers bought equipment for their combines to pick up the downed corn. Harvesting of the corn fell behind schedule due to the necessity of slow combine speeds in damaged fields. |
| Event Narrative | High winds blew down scattered trees and utility lines in Franklin and across the county as a result of gradient winds from the remnants of Ike. |
