Episode Narrative A cold front moved east from the Upper Midwest and the Central Plains on the afternoon of April 3rd. Very warm, moist, unstable air was in place over much of the region. A line of severe thunderstorms developed out ahead of the front, and plowed through many areas of Eastern Kentucky. This line of thunderstorms is also known as a squall line. Many reports of wind damage were received throughout Eastern Kentucky. Five tornadoes were confirmed to have touched down in Eastern Kentucky. Two tornadoes were confirmed in Pulaski County, and also in Harlan County, with one tornado confirmed in Laurel County. For Harlan County, these were the first tornadoes ever recorded in the County. These tornadoes were embedded in areas of significant straight line wind damage. Several reports of large hail were also received.
Event Narrative An EF1 tornado with a path length of 1.8 miles and a path width of 50 yards destroyed a pole barn, uprooted large hardwood trees, pushed a well tied down mobile home off its foundation and blew a roof off of a store.
