High Wind in Blackford, Indiana

Trees, tree limbs, power lines and poles were all reported down in spots across the county.

A negatively tilted trough, combined with a 130 knot jet streak forced the rapid development and intensification of seasonably deep low pressure. The low tracked across northeastern Illinois and then into central Lake Michigan. While some stronger wind gusts were noted along a cold front, pockets of damaging winds occurred behind the front with 50 to 60 mph wind gusts common, resulting in power outages, trees and power lines down and some minor structure damage.
