WeatherMonger Posted April 9, 2020 Share Posted April 9, 2020 On 4/8/2020 at 5:18 PM, WeatherMonger said: Wind just got here, probably 45mph currently Wasn't too far off, 50MPH fromnthe NW, so the second gust from the south after it passed wasn't the strongest of the 2.

Sidewinder Posted April 12, 2020 Share Posted April 12, 2020 Wanted to run these shots by the forum to see what you all think. After the town of Mooresville was hit with an EF1, the storm moved through Johnson County. The first picture was taken in the Whiteland area, I65 and 500 North. The second was about CR 100 North and CR 700 East, south east of this location about 3-4 miles. Indy is not interested in surveying the area. I guess I can understand if it didn't damage any structures. Impossible to give a reliable rating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosier Posted April 12, 2020 Share Posted April 12, 2020 That is what the EF-U rating is for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
