Hoosier Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 40 years ago today. This is one of the strongest tornadoes in Indianapolis history. http://indianadoes.blogspot.com/2012/05/may-14-1972-indianapolis-area-tornado.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IWXwx Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 Interesting. Thanks for posting this. I was 14 at the time but don't even remember it. I do know where Marklevillie is (Northern Hancock Co.) I've driven through there many times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do know where Marklevillie is (Northern Hancock Co.) I've driven through there many times. It was before my time. Indy actually has a pretty substantial tornado history although part of that is due to the sprawling city limits (basically taking up all of Marion county). Interesting tidbit...the first tornado emergency issued outside of the Plains was for the Indy area on 9/20/2002. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IWXwx Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 Southern Madison. Only by 2 miles though. Yep. you're right. I remember that it is north of Greenfield, so I was assuming Hancock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Indystorm Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 Don't remember this at all and I was in Bloomington IN graduating from I.U. that month and preparing to start a Master's degree and become a teaching assistant that summer. Thanks for the find. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
