Episode Narrative Thunderstorms developed near a warm front in an unstable environment, with plenty of low level shear/helicity, during the evening of Memorial Day, May 27th. This allowed the storms to rotate and rapidly became severe, producing tornadoes, large hail, and damaging winds. The storms and tornadoes damaged homes, brought down many trees and power lines, and produced heavy rain as well.
Event Narrative NWS Indianapolis found tornado damage 4 miles east-southeast of Middletown. The EF-1 rated tornado, with max wind speeds of 110 mph, snapped numerous large trees with the debris lying in various directions.
Metal siding was thrown across fields and there was roof damage to a couple of homes as well.
