All modes of severe weather were noted during this event. Hail was the primary threat from the scattered early event storms. Then, the bow echo pushed across Central Indiana producing widespread wind damage. A brief tornado even caused some damage where the bow echo met the east-west orientated line of scattered storms in Central Indiana. Heavy rain and flooding, some of it flash flooding, were also widely observed across the region.
