A line of intense supercells developed ahead of a strong cold front over southern Wisconsin and subsequently moved into central IL and western IN.  The supercells produced a number of tornadoes in central IL.  By the time the system moved into western IN, a line echo wave pattern (LEWP) radar signature was observed on the southern end of the line.  Detailed ground and aerial surveys showed that this feature produced a small W-E oriented swath of F0 straight-line wind damage centered on the town of Wingate, IN.  Most of the damage was blown-over trees.  The roof of a metal utility shed was also severely damaged.
