I am in south Indy. My son, The Coopster, lives east. They aren't home. Checking the local reports now. We are getting thunder here, no rain.

Stay home for a while. These storms are popping up very suddenly. Heavy rains and high winds down on the south side.

Appears to have formed right over Indy and is headed up your way.

We lived in Indy for five years during the eighties. We still love Indianapolis and have friends there. Hoping everyone is ok.

[Khepera]

Yes I am but I work on the west side (where I am now) We are about 5 miles west of Washington Square and my wife did not see anything. That does not mean that it was not there. We have been getting heavy rains for about 1/2 hour so far.

Hi fellow Freeper...we too live on southside...borderline of County Line and Madison...hope our two little Yorkies are A-OK.

[Miss Marple]

I am south of County Line over by 135. I hope your Yorkies are ok...we have been getting rain pretty heavy here. Dog is nervous, but I can't take her to the basement because she weighs 160 pounds and is afraid of the stairs. LOL!

[smiley]

OMG! 160 pounds...your dog should carry you down the stairs...:)
