Episodes

April 20, 2021

Snow began falling in central Indiana during the afternoon hours and continued into the evening. The snow was briefly heavy at times, reducing visibility for travelers. Warm ground temperatures melted some of the snow as it fell, and warm road temperatures helped keep most roads clear. As the sun angle decreased during the latter portions of the evening, snow began to stick more readily on elevated surfaces which led to sporadic tree damage and power outages as tree limbs weighed down by spring buds snapped under the weight of the wet snow. Power outages peaked at over 12,000 outages across the state with 2 counties issuing travel advisories during the event. The cold weather that night likely led to damage to spring fruit crops, but the extent and cost is not known at this time.

June 21, 2015

Thunderstorms moved into central Indiana during the early morning hours of June 21. These storms produced wind damage across northern sections of the area. Numerous trees and power lines were downed, and some the trees fell on homes causing significant damage. A grain silo was also destroyed by the storms. The storms also brought heavy rain.||A damage survey was done across Tipton County, and the survey determined that straight line winds caused the extensive damage.

February 28, 2011

A potent storm system moved across central Indiana late on February 27 and early on February 28. Warm and moist air moved into the area with the system, and this allowed thunderstorms to develop. Some of the storms produced hail, damaging winds, heavy rain, and one storm produced a tornado near the town of Ingalls. ||In addition to the tornado damage, downburst straight-line wind damage was also observed just south of the tornado touchdown near Woods Drive at State Road 67. Additional downburst straight-line wind damage in the form of downed trees, limbs and power lines occurred further southwest on State Road 67 in Fortville at Motel Road, Industrial Drive and just north and west of the downtown area. ||Northern sections of central Indiana saw 1 to 3 inches of rain, with isolated 4 to 5 inch amounts. This rain, combined with water from a melted snow cover, led to flooding of numerous streams, creeks, and rivers. Flooding also occurred in low lying areas. Some creeks and rivers experienced record flooding.

June 17, 2006

A series of damaging wind-producing severe thunderstorms moved through central Indiana on the evening of 17 June 2006. Fortunately, damage was mostly confined to downed trees and power lines.

January 5, 2005

After several bouts of precipitation to begin the month, a low pressure system moved through central Indiana bringing heavy rain to the entire area. Cold air filtered into northern sections of central Indiana, which changed the precipitation to heavy freezing rain over the northern third of central Indiana. Widespread half-inch ice accumulations were reported, with isolated one inch or greater amounts, crippling communities for as much as several days to a week. Electricity was knocked out for as many as 150,000 homes in areas affected by the storm. Power was restored to all but a few homes by Thursday, 9 January. Shelters were opened by the Red Cross and other organizations across the area, with more than 1,000 residents taking advantage of shelters in east central Indiana alone. States of emergency were declared in several counties, and hospitals and other emergency services were forced to go to backup power. Millions of dollars in damage was done to trees, power lines, and structures.
