Episode Narrative Storms moved across Missouri and Illinois into central and southern Indiana. Storms produced high winds and heavy rain. Rain of 4 to more than 6 inches fell in portions of central and southern Indiana on Wednesday and Thursday morning. This was the biggest rain the area has seen since June 2008. This rain did flood numerous county and a few state roads in central and southern Indiana. At least 4 vehicles attempted to go through flooded roads and did not make it. The biggest rain reported was 6.25 inches on the north side of Bloomington. Monroe���Morgan���Owen���Daviess and southern Marion Counties all had locations that measured 4 or more inches of rain.
Event Narrative Lightning struck the roof of a home, leaving a gaping hole during heavy rain. Firefighters were called about 7 PM EST. The lightning sparked an attic fire that took about 20 minutes to put out, according to the fire chief. The rest of the home had smoke and water damage. Time of event is approximate. Damage cost is grossly estimated.
