The wider storm
Two rounds of thunderstorms in total brought severe weather to half of central Indiana's counties. During the late morning to early afternoon hours on the 14th, a decaying line of storms brought prolific small hail and isolated wind damage to much of the state.
Severe weather returned when early evening rotating supercells produced widespread large hail across north central Indiana, which gradually spread towards the southeast when a supercell tracking east of Muncie produced additional large hail, damaging winds, and two strong tornadoes. An EF2 impacted Selma in eastern Delaware County, before a long-track EF3 crossed much of Randolph County, with significant damage and one fatality in Winchester, before continuing into Ohio. The governor of Indiana signed an executive order declaring both Delaware and Randolph Counties disaster zones.
Began near Broad Park (39.6300, -86.6900).
