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.
