Episode Narrative During the afternoon, multi-cell thunderstorm clusters developed along a warm front that was oriented from west to east along the Interstate 64 corridor. Surface dew points near and south of the front were in the lower 70's, which contributed to strong instability. Thunderstorm clusters moved eastward along the warm front, but they also developed southward into the strongest instability. Moderately strong deep-layer wind shear resulted in the formation of an organized mesoscale convective system accompanied by locally damaging winds, isolated large hail, and isolated street flooding. There was also an isolated tornado associated with a short-lived supercell structure. A second line of storms arrived late in the evening and continued overnight. This second line produced isolated street flooding.
Event Narrative Trees were snapped and uprooted. The tornado track ended on Indiana Route 165 about two miles west of Owensville. Maximum winds were estimated near 95 mph.
