The wider storm

With a moisture rich and highly unstable environment, an impulse from Missouri

formed a line of severe weather that pushed from west to east across southern

Indiana and central Kentucky. This line dropped heavy rainfall which caused flooding

issues and severe winds that caused damage to property.
