Thunderstorm winds consistent with a brief microburst downed oak and hickory trees into a metal pole barn at 5850 West County Road 100 South. Damage continued for about 0.5 miles east laying down crops.

The wider storm

A slowly-passing cold front combined with adequate instability to produce several strong afternoon thunderstorms across far southeastern central Indiana. One cell towered high enough to trigger a brief microburst over west-central Jennings County.

Began near Azalia (38.9690, -85.7189).
