Dark, freaky clouds out of the southwest rolling through the heart of Indy, filled with roaring thunder, alarming lightening, heavy rain and thumping hail.
No, it wasn’t the end of days, although it felt like it if you were caught in evening traffic trying to navigate low visibility and flash flooding to find shelter.

Around lunchtime, Adrian Wojnarowski tweeted the news that Larry Bird was stepping down as the Pacers team president, turning over basketball decisions to Kevin Pritchard.
