I'm in the Hammond / Gary area of North Indiana and the wind here had gusts to 60 mph at the Gary airport last night. The wind is still at 35 - 40 mph now.

I am a little SSE of you in the Indianapolis area. We had gusts of hurricane force last night. There were some over 70 mph between 9 and 11 pm. You could see the effect in the water level in the toilets. Weird. I sure would not have wanted to have been driving between here and there on I-65 last night. I was coming home about 9pm and the road would be covered with leaves blowing so fast it looked like a river of leaves so that you didn't know where the road ended. Or all around in the air like big brown snowflakes. The wind here now is only about 15-25 mph with gusts about 40-50 mph, I think. Blustery is the word that comes to mind.

I did read in the paper this morning that the wall of some restaurant was knocked down by the wind, injuring two people.
