What the National Weather Service wrote

A trained spotter reported wind gusts to 60 mph along with hail of unknown size covering the road.

The wider storm

A warm front edged north into portions of northern Indiana, bringing with it a low CAPE but high shear environment for rotating supercells. Several cells developed across central Indiana and worked northeast, crossing the warm front. However the depth of cold air north of the front was sufficient to limit any severe threat to isolated large hail despite strong rotation being noted on radar.

Began near Hartford City (40.4500, -85.3700).
