Thunderstorm Wind in Huntington County, Indiana

Local law enforcement reported a tree was blown down in the 2500 block of County Road East 1100 North.

A volatile environment of over 4000 J/KG of SBCAPE, combined with 45 to 60 knots of effective shear set the stage for multiple rounds of thunderstorm during the afternoon and evening hours of June 13th. Initial storms remained poorly organized, but did produce sporadic wind damage or hail. More substantial thunderstorm development evolved during the evening hours in northwestern Indiana and southwestern Lower Michigan and progressed east, eventually producing several swaths of wind damage. The most intense cluster of storms evolved in Berrien county Michigan and dropped rapidly southeast impacting locations extending from South Bend to Fort Wayne. Southwestern portions of Fort Wayne suffered the greatest impacts with widespread tree and structure damage from 80 to nearly 100 mph winds.
