A supercell embedded in a squall line produced two brief touchdowns from just south of MIddletown to just north of Mount Summit in Henry county. The first touchdown lasted a minute or less and occurred across farmland doing no damage, while the second destroyed one barn and damaged several roofs to outbuildings and downed numerous trees while again only touching down for a minute or less.

What happened
The episode as NWS IND wrote it up.
A supercell embedded in a squall line produced two brief touchdowns from just south of MIddletown to just north of Mount Summit in Henry county. The first touchdown lasted a minute or less and occurred across farmland doing no damage, while the second destroyed one barn and damaged several roofs to outbuildings and downed numerous trees while again only touching down for a minute or less. A trained spotter followed the parent storm and observed several funnels across the county but only these two brief touchdowns. Otherwise, a squall line produced scattered reports of trees and power lines down across other central Indiana counties during the afternoon and evening of June 20.
The radar
The Indianapolis radar (KIND), 64 km away, was scanning. The volume nearest the first event began at 21:28 UTC.
