What the National Weather Service wrote

Thunderstorms winds snapped around 30 trees about 20 feet off the ground just east of Oakland City. In addition 3 trees were uprooted. One tree landed on a barn and another damaged the roof of a house.

The wider storm

A line of strong thunderstorms developed over southern Indiana in the late afternoon and moved south on the east side of a strong ridge of high pressure aloft. Southwest Indiana was in the midst of a multi-week heat wave, and the extreme heat and humidity provided fuel for the line of storms to continue south with the western end of the line passing from Oakland City to Newburgh in the early evening. A few downbursts within the line produced damaging winds near Oakland City and Otwell.

Began near Oakland City (38.3322, -87.3310).
