weather

We don't get as many tornades as say Texas, Oklahoma, or Kansas. But things can get interesting. In 2002, we had a pretty bad tornado that caused a lot of damage through central Indiana. I remember it well. My "ex" and I lived in Hendricks county (near I-70 see map) and I was at home that day working on my computer--our house was on a hill and my office windows faced South. While we were not directly hit, I had a great "view" as the storm moved in. Solid black--it looked like "smoke" over the trees. She worked as a nurse at an Indianapolis hospital and they had to take patients into the halls as the tornado struck downtown. A few of our large buildings had windows blown out and some of our campus buildings were hit as well and students in the dorms were evacuated.

Here is a link to pictures of the damage and a map of its path:

These are not that tornado but are representative of what we get here. The black sky is from July 8, 2003 another day to remember. One touched down near the Indianapolis Motor Speedway.

Thought I'd share some pictures of Brown County in Southern Indiana. This time of year it is a lot of fun to visit and the scenery is beautiful. Indiana University is right next door in Bloomington and everything is just an hours drive from Indy. Great places to ride or drive. Or just relax!
