Severe thunderstorms are moving through central Indiana Monday, dumping more rain on an area already waterlogged. The National Weather Service has issued severe thunderstorm warnings for Johnson, Morgan and Shelby counties until 1:15 p.m.

In Marion County, the storms downed trees and disrupted power to an estimated 19,000 IPL customers, as of 12:17 p.m., according to the company's power outage map. Most of those outages are in the Speedway area.

The storms continued moving to the southeast towards Johnson and Shelby counties, where there were also reports of power outages and wind damage.
