Iroquois County Amateur Radio 147.030+ and 444.625+ - Meetings 2nd Thursday at the Red Cross Office in Watseka, IL

Report from Benton County Indiana EMA…

As of now, no severe weather or major damage reported here. .5 - 1″ rain this evening, .75 - 2″ total 24 hours. Some isolated heavy winds, highest reported 48 mph. Some small limbs down. One reported power line downed by tree limb in Raub (NW corner of county).

I did get a very delayed report (no cell phone coverage) from a trained weather spotter of a small tornado north of Ambia at about 20:15 ET. No known damage at this time. This would have been the same cell that produced tornado warnings in Vermilion Co (IL) earlier, and the Severe T-Storm warning at 20:50 for NE Benton County.
