The wider storm

A strong upper level system brought strong gradient winds to much of Indiana with the strongest winds generally along and north of Interstate 70. These strong winds caused widespread power outages, damaged buildings, and caused significant tree damage. Over 200 crews were dispatched to return power to Marion County alone. At the peak of the event, at least 70,416 homes were without power.
