Heavier rain with more thunder and lightning so they postponed the event with an announcement forthcoming. In looking at the radar, please take precautions this evening and over night. Another long band of storms crossing the Illinois-Indiana state line with the leading edge mostly red. Storms all over the area with tornado possiblities in Southern Indiana. Stay safe.
I didn't hear the postponement announcement, but figured it was coming. Pretty easy drive back to Indy, considering.
