High Winds and Large Hail
Widespread severe thunderstorms occurred across most of south-central

derecho developed over Illinois and Indiana during the afternoon and
then plummeted southward into southern Indiana and central Kentucky,
producing winds estimated near 70 to 80 MPH in some locations. During the
overnight hours, scattered severe thunderstorms continued to develop within
an unstable air mass, mainly producing large hail.
