| Episode Narrative | A mid level trough over moving over the Ohio Valley brought heavy rainfall and a few strong thunderstorms, one of which produced a weak tornado, to southern Indiana. Anywhere from three to five inches of rain fell over several hours. An already saturated ground led contributed to flash flooding conditions. The tornado was produced in response to some increase low and mid level shear as a the low pressure system moved through the area. |
| Event Narrative | The tornado uprooted and snapped several large trees and destroyed a small shed on Daisy Hill Road north of Borden. One snapped tree came down onto the roof of a home doing considerable damage. |
