Deaths and injuries are direct and indirect together, as the offices filed them. Damage is property and crops in the dollars of the year, not adjusted for inflation, and only where an office estimated it.
The episode as NWS ILN wrote it up.
The atmosphere eventually recovered from the passage of an outflow boundary in the morning. Storms developed along a convergent axis ahead of a surface trough. Lift was aided by an enhanced short wave moving across Indiana.

NWS Wilmington, OH wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Jun 2, 4:38 PM EST, 42 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE WILMINGTON OH 538 PM EDT WED JUN 2 2010 .SYNOPSIS... A BOUNDARY WILL BE DRAPED ALONG THE OHIO RIVER TONIGHT AND THURSDAY. THIS WILL CREATE A FAVORED TRACK FOR WEAK SURFACE LOW PRESSURE WAVES TO TRACK ALONG THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT...WRINGING OUT SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS. HIGH PRESSURE WILL BRIEFLY BUILD OVER THE GREAT LAKES ON FRIDAY. && .NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM THURSDAY MORNING/... UPDATING TO ACCOUNT FOR CONVECTION THAT FIRED ALONG A BOUNDARY TO THE WEST. STORMS WILL AFFECT NORTHWEST HALF OF CWA AND SLOWLY SPREAD EAST THIS EVENING AS THEY SLOWLY BLEND THEIR INDIVIDUAL UPDRAFTS TOGETHER AND DIE OUT LATER THIS EVENING. OUTFLOW FROM THIS SYSTEM MAY ALSO INITIATE MORE IN THE SOUTHEAST...WILL AMEND FORECAST AGAIN IF THIS OCCURS. TEMPS TONIGHT SHOULD DROP INTO THE MID TO UPPER 60S...NOT TOO FAR OFF OF CURRENT DEWPOINTS. && .SHORT TERM /6 AM THURSDAY MORNING THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT/... BOUNDARY WILL REMAIN ALONG THE OHIO RIVER THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT UNTIL HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS IN THE GREAT LAKES REGION AND NEGATES ANY ACTIVITY THAT MAY STILL BE LINGERING ALONG IT DURING THE EVENING HOURS. WITH DAYTIME HEATING...A SCATTERED THUNDERSTORM OR DOWNSTREAM SHOWERS ARE EXPECTED DURING THE DAY AND THIS APPEARS TO HAVE A HIGHER CHANCE OF OCCURRANCE THAN CONVECTION TONIGHT. TEMPERATURES WERE ABOVE CLIMATOLOGY BUT CONSISTENT WITH WHAT WE HAVE BEEN SEEING THE LAST FEW DAYS. MID 80S AND MID 60S FOR MAX/MINS. && .LONG TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/... MAIN UPDATE TO THE LONG TERM WAS TO INCREASE POPS SATURDAY AS MODELS ARE AGREEING A LITTLE BETTER ON THE POSSIBILITY OF THE NEXT FRONT MOVING IN A LITTLE QUICKER. THERE IS STILL QUITE A BIT OF SPREAD IN THE GUIDANCE ON TIMING BUT ENOUGH CONFIDENCE FOR A LOW CHANCE POP AT THIS POINT. HIGH PRESSURE AND DRY WEATHER ARE EXPECTED ON MONDAY AND TUESDAY. TEMPERATURES THROUGH THE PERIOD WILL HOVER AROUND CLIMATOLOGICAL NORMALS...WITH HIGHS AROUND 80 AND LOWS CLOSE TO 60. && .AVIATION /22Z WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY/... EXPECT CHANCE OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS TO INCREASE LATE THIS AFTERNOON INTO THIS EVENING AS THE ATMOSPHERE DESTABILIZES AND CONVERGENCE INCREASES AHEAD OF A TROUGH EXTENDING ACROSS INDIANA. STILL SOME UNCERTAINTY IN TIMING IN COVERAGE. SO HAVE USED VCSH AND CB QUALIFIERS FOR TIME FRAME THAT APPEARS TO HAVE THE BEST CHANCE AT THIS TIME. CHANCE OF CONVECTION MAY EXTEND PAST 06Z BUT UNCERTAINTY INCREASES WITH TIME. AFTER THAT THERE MAY BE SOME CLEARING AND WITH LIGHT WINDS AND AMPLE LOW LEVEL MOISTURE EXPECT VISIBILITY RESTRICTIONS TO DEVELOP IN MIST/FOG. THIS SHOULD DISSIPATE QUICKLY AFTER 12Z. BUT THE CHANCE OF ADDITIONAL SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL INCREASE LATE IN THE TAF PERIOD. .OUTLOOK...THUNDERSTORMS POSSIBLE THURSDAY AFTERNOON INTO THURSDAY NIGHT AND AND AGAIN SATURDAY THROUGH SUNDAY. && .ILN WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... OH...NONE. KY...NONE. IN...NONE. && SYNOPSIS...FRANKS NEAR TERM...FRANKS SHORT TERM...FRANKS LONG TERM...FRANKS AVIATION...
