Edinburgh (/ˈɛdɪnbɜːrɡ/) is a town in Johnson, Bartholomew, and Shelby counties in the U.S. state of Indiana.

Edinburgh is the home of Camp Atterbury, a National Guard training facility.

[4] A founder of the town being a native of Scotland may have caused the name Edinburgh to be selected.

[8][9] Severe thunderstorms formed rapidly across Central Indiana on the evening of June 3, 2008.

The tornado exited Camp Atterbury and crossed US 31, entering the town of Edinburgh.

Several buildings and countless trees and power lines were damaged as the tornado moved roughly parallel with Indiana 252.

The Big Blue River and Sugar Creek overflowed their banks as a result of this activity.

A line of severe thunderstorms moved across Central Indiana on the evening of June 6, 2008.

These storms began to move south out of Edinburgh, weakening as daylight was lost.

However, strong surface winds began to interact with a leftover outflow boundary from the earlier severe activity.

The first rainfall began to fall in Edinburgh at approximately 9:00 PM on the evening of June 6.

This water had no place to go as it struck the already saturated grounds, so runoff was extremely high.

Runoff quickly flooded agricultural areas and much of this water made its way into several subdivisions in Edinburgh.
