The wider storm

Numerous to widespread strong and severe thunderstorms developed during the late afternoon amid a favorable environment of up to 3000 J/kg of CAPE and 30 knots of deep shear, while lift was initiated by an upper wave and associated low-level boundary across northern central Indiana. Scattered large hail was focused over the western and northern portions of the Indianapolis Metro and near Bloomington. Several storms produced damaging winds near the Interstate 69 corridor, and eventually in southeastern central Indiana as the episode continued into the evening. Greatest damage ranged from several trees downed in both southeastern Hamilton County and Jackson County to damaged orchard crops amid several reports of up to 2.00 inch hail in Hendricks County.

Began near New Palestine (39.7200, -85.9000).
