April 20, 2004 "Surprise" Tornado Outbreak
Today is the eight year anniversary of the April 20, 2004 tornado outbreak. It is hard to believe it has been that long. Simply put, it remains one of the most poorly forecasted severe weather events I have ever seen. Thankfully no lives were lost in Indiana but that was not the case in other areas. You can view an excellent writeup on this event here

7 Year Anniversary Of Memorial Day Weekend 2004 Tornado Outbreak
Today marks the 7 year anniversary of what was then the second biggest tornado outbreak in state history (it has since been nudged into third place by 4/19/11). The preceding days featured a series of severe weather events across the U.S., but on May 30, it was our turn to be in the crosshairs.
Early that day, the Storm Prediction Center issued a Moderate Risk roughly along and west of I-65 with a High Risk farther west in parts of Illinois. The High Risk was expanded in subsequent outlooks to include most of Indiana:
The event began rather early with the first tornado reported in Owen county a few minutes after 1 PM. It was the first of 24 tornadoes which occurred in a 9 hour time span. 2 of the tornadoes - Marengo and Peru - were rated F3 with 1 fatality in Marengo.
Here is a map of the approximate tornado tracks:
