Episode Narrative A combination of strong dynamics, wind shear, and rapid low level moisture return all combined to produce severe weather across much of Northern Indiana. One of several supercell thunderstorms produced a long tracked tornado which reached the high end of EF3.

A horse was killed in a barn that was destroyed. Damage estimated around 3 million dollars.
