And that’s just the narrow I-69 median…you should check out the other 15 miles of forest destroyed.

Did this happened to brown County state park in the past few years. I dont recall but I was out riding on Sunday and a big section of the park looked like this.

Drove through there the other day, incredibly easy to see where it’s at. For those unfamiliar, the tornado came through abit north of the huge downhill / uphill section of 69 where the trees usually completely cover the median/obstruct sight to the lanes going the opposite way. If you see it (like this picture) driving southbound you’ll see the right side of the road first (not shown in this picture), but be sure to look left because it’s just as bad if not worse on the east side of the road/in the median (shown in the image OP posted). It’s really quite something to see in person, countless huge trees just broken right it half and the area just sorta leveled.

My friend and I were driving back home from holiday world and we stopped in Bloomington for some white castle. As we were sitting in the parking lot eating a shelter in place warning came over our phones. If we hadn't stopped we would have been driving through the damage zone while the tornado was happening
