Hoosier Posted March 23, 2012 Author Share Posted March 23, 2012 That's well outside the T-storm watch area. Yeah, so was that Fern Creek one.That Switzerland county report is one of those that makes you wonder whether will make it into Storm Data since there was no report of damage. It seems like the standards vary - some offices will rate those EF0 while others won't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SouthernNJ Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 Hopefully the Hoosier fans and college students in Bloomington do not get too caught up in anticipation of watching their big game on TV to head for shelter. Not even so much from a possible tornado, but from the dangerous lightning and hail occurring with this storm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosier Posted March 23, 2012 Author Share Posted March 23, 2012 I do wonder if the best tor threat is in the southern half of that watch. Low level flow may be prohibitively weak farther north. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
