What was reported inside it

Time	Report	Where	Remark
May 11, 10:36 PM EDT	HEAVY RAIN 1.64	1 Sw Sevastopol, IN	1 HOUR RAINFALL TOTAL.
May 11, 11:16 PM EDT	HEAVY RAIN 2.75	Akron, IN	2.75 INCHES OF RAIN IN THE PAST 2 HOURS. STREET FLOODING THROUGHOUT TOWN. STORM DRAINS ARE HAVING TROUBLE KEEPING UP WITH THE RAINFALL.

Local storm reports filed while the alert was in force, from inside its polygon or its counties.

Did it verify

Not verified. The Iowa Environmental Mesonet's Cow found no qualifying storm report inside this flash flood 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 nearest sounding before it

Lincoln, IL (KILX), launched 00:00Z, 2.5 hours before the alert went out and 188 km from the middle of its area. This is the routine balloon launch nearest before it, the air the forecaster had in hand, not a measurement taken for the alert.
