What the National Weather Service wrote

Thunderstorm winds at 904 Edwards Drive pushed over a boom lift that was 125 feet high. An adult male in the boom at the time of the strong winds was killed.

The wider storm

A humid air mass situated over central Indiana, up to a warm front stretched across the region's far-northern counties, provided ample instability; while adequate levels of vertical wind shear were also present, especially closer to the boundary. Within this environment, numerous late day, strong thunderstorms moved quickly through the region from south to north. Early in the evening, scattered wind damage was produced by the two most prominent cells, in Madison County and across several of the region's north-central counties.

Began near Lebanon (40.0200, -86.5000).
