Wind Gusts Hit 60 mph in Pulaski as Autumn Barrels In!

There were two severe thunderstorm warnings in Indiana today for Kosciusko and Whitley Counties but it was Pulaski County in the Lafayette viewing area that got hit the hardest. Take a look at the storm reports below from the Storm Prediction Center:

4 p.m. EDT
MONTEREY in PULASKI COUNTY

TREES UPROOTED AND LANDED ON HOUSES. POWER LINES DOWN ACROSS MONTEREY. (IWX)

4:50 p.m.
1 NNE NORTH MANCHESTER in WABASH COUNTY

TREES DOWN ON CARS (IWX)

The good news is no more severe weather is expected. Most of the lightning strikes I picked up in the area were located in Pulaski County and far northern Indiana between 4 p.m. and 6 p.m. I will check to see if the line of storms bowed out just enough to bring those severe wind gusts to the surface. I will of course have more on this tonight at 11 p.m. If anybody has friends in the Monterey area tell them I am looking for stories and pictures. Thanks!
