This radar shows two distinct supercell thunderstorms. The one that produced the porch damage is the northern one, located in northeastern Brown County. This storm exhibits a kidney-bean shape, which sometimes characterizes high-precipitation supercells (the most common type of supercell in the Ohio Valley). The most notable feature to a storm of this shape is the reflectivity notch on it eastern side. This notch is indicative of a rotating updraft.
