The Lucas Oil Golf Course had scattered mature tree damage over the whole property.

Wider weather episode

Across the Lower Ohio Valley, it was a warm summer day with temperatures in the 80s. There wasn't much shear in the atmosphere, but enough moisture and strong instability caused a line of convection to develop and intensify as an outflow boundary from earlier convection dropped south through southern Indiana and north central Kentucky. Severe winds from the storms caused widespread tree and power line damage farther east, east of Interstate 65. A separate thunderstorm caused widespread mature tree damage on a golf course in Crawford County.
