The wider storm
A complex of thunderstorms that developed over northern Illinois dropped southeastward into north-central Indiana during the afternoon of May 16th. Due to a very unstable airmass feeding into the complex, several supercell thunderstorms developed along its southwestern flank. These cells skirted across Vermilion County, producing hail as large as baseballs and damaging wind gusts in excess of 60 mph. The large hail caused nearly 4 million dollars damage to a Toyota dealership in Tilton.
Began near Hegeler (40.0852, -87.6365).
