| Episode Narrative | A frontal system moved through central Indiana during the afternoon of July 20th, producing thunderstorms. Some of the storms were severe with damaging winds, large hail, and one EF-1 tornado in Madison County. |
| Event Narrative | An EF-1 tornado was observed and recorded via video on Friday afternoon in Moonville in Madison County. Madison County Emergency Management, in coordination with the National Weather Service in Indianapolis, conducted a storm survey and determined a tornado touched down and destroyed a barn, caused roof damage to an adjacent home, produced tree damage, and flipped a storage shed onto its side. The track of the tornado began in a soybean field to the west-southwest of the barn. The maximum winds were estimated at 100 mph. |
