The Record

What the NWS Data Shows

The National Weather Service issued tornado warnings six times between roughly 9:30 and 10:30 PM for Boone and Hamilton counties as rotating storms tracked across the northwest metro.

Severe thunderstorm warnings covered Marion, Hendricks, Johnson, Hancock, Morgan, and Madison counties through the same window, with a tornado watch in effect for the region.

Measured wind gusts of 59 to 61 mph were recorded just northwest of the metro in Clinton and Montgomery counties as the line moved in. Spotter reports from inside the metro typically take a day or two to be logged; our storm map updates as they land.

Counties under warnings: Boone, Hamilton, Marion, Hendricks, Johnson, Hancock, Morgan, Madison. See live reports on the storm map.

If You Were Under It

What to Check, and What to Watch Out For

Zionsville, Whitestown, Lebanon, Westfield, Carmel, and Sheridan sat closest to the warned rotation. If you're in those areas, walk your property line first: shingle pieces, dented gutters or downspouts, and broken branches are the ground-level evidence worth photographing with today's date.

Wind damage from a night storm often shows up as creased or lifted shingle tabs that lie back down by morning and look fine from the street. They fail months later. This is exactly what a documented inspection catches.

Out-of-town crews will be canvassing warned zip codes within days. Take their flyer if you like, but get a documented opinion from a company with a local address before signing anything, and never sign over your insurance benefits at the door.

The full first-48-hours playbook is on our storm damage page.

From the Roof

What This Storm Actually Did

Photos from wind-damage documentation after the June 11, 2026 storms, taken the way we take them on every inspection: from the roof, dated, nothing staged.
