Where the report was made, with tornadoes recorded within 15 miles over the years.

The wider storm

Weak shortwave trough moving through upper Michigan combined with retreating outflow boundary from morning/early afternoon storms, which moved through northern Indiana/northwest Ohio, spurned new storm development from southern Wisconsin southeast through northeast Illinois by later afternoon. Storms were initially sub-severe and disorganized, but a bowing segment developed as cold pool strengthened, causing strong winds along the lake shore areas of Lake Michigan before moving inland.

Began near Michigan City C-man Station (mcyi3) (41.7300, -86.9100).
