The radar
The Northern Indiana radar (KIWX), 98 km from the middle of the area, began a volume at 02:52 UTC, the scan nearest the moment this went out.
Open the radar archive at this moment
The archived warnings, watches and discussions in force at that minute are drawn over the scan, this one among them.
Did it verify
Not verified. The Iowa Environmental Mesonet's Cow found no qualifying storm report inside this severe thunderstorm warning while it was in force. That is not proof nothing happened: reports are thin where few people live.
Cow counts a report within 15 km of the polygon while the warning was in force: a tornado for a tornado warning; hail of 1 inch or more, a gust of 58 mph or more or wind damage for a severe thunderstorm warning; a flash flood report for a flash flood warning.
The watch it was issued in
The SPC watch in force over the same counties when this warning went out.

INCREASING DELTA T VALUES. PHASING OF SHORT WAVES WILL OCCUR
OVERNIGHT WITH CLOSED LOW DEVELOPING OVER FORECAST AREA TONIGHT.
LARGE AREA OF DEFORMATION RAIN EXPECTED TO SAG INTO NORTHWEST
