Tornados on May 1

[rhino]

I heard the sirens in Crawfordsville about 45 minutes ago, but didn't notice any really bad weather. Saw some big hail from the New Richmond area on TV.

Looks like the worst should stay north of us in Greenwood, getting windy here though.

There is another angry area tracking our way.

More severe weather that could form a tornado, or a 2nd one sited on the ground? I've only heard about the one that set down near the airport.

Just another cell to the west. Doesn't look as intense right now.

Ah, gotcha, thanks. Something to keep an eye on, though, to be sure.

70mph gust was reported at Indianapolis International Airport a little while ago. Wow!

Yeah it has lost some size.

I got hail at my house Near Avon High School

 

[churchmouse]

Looks like most of the really angry stuff is south of the I-70 corridor.

Just rain during the first round here south of Brownsburg. No hail, no winds, and no tornado.

Looks like this next little cell will miss us to the south as well.

Be safe out there.

Clayton got shredded!! I went down and put a few signs out and Lord....the hail was deep, leaves 4-6" deep in the road...roads flooded. My phone has done started getting texts to inspect roofs tomorrow.......gonna be another long week, but I am not complaining. Hope Allen is getting his rest as well......been a while since we had one this big, wide and long. 4-5+ mile swath, from Putnam to Marion. Stuff I seen didnt look big in size, but it was still quarter size and lasted a long time.

Hope everyone is OK out there Randy.

Mccordsville just gettin rain and sum rumbling nothing serious. Was quite as hell half hour ago when sirens went off. Looks like it's staying south of us

 

[hoosierdoc]

My BIL lives near 135 and southport, said it went over but didn't touch down

 

[2ADMNLOVER]

It smacked around Mars Hill but other than that it's business as usual .

 

[churchmouse]

All quite here.

 

[jbombelli]

All quiet on the western front aka Brownsburg.

The hail storm just missed us (we were just a bit north of the big cell in Marion county) although we did get just a bit of marble size hail for about 1-2 minutes.

Something I noticed that I have not noticed before is the guy wires on the tall communication towers were sparking/glowing just minutes before the rain started. I've heard the electricity in the air around the towers before but never the sparking/glowing of the wires.

I know the tallest tower of the 3 around us is 997 feet tall. It had the most sparking/glowing.

All quite here.

Quite what?

 

[ArcadiaGP]

Beech Grove-ish area here. Some neat green lightning, phones and weather radio started going nuts.

Watched the radar until it passed over, no damage here.

Had sirens going off for a while here in W. Lafayette, but the all clear has been given. I didn't bother to look much outside have to prepare for finals.
