Episode Narrative | A cold front moved through southern Indiana and central Kentucky on the morning of February 28. A strong low low level jet developed ahead of this front with winds of 60-80 knots at 2-3 thousand feet, resulting in very high speed shear and storm relative helicity values. A squall line with bowing segments developed to the west of the Louisville forecast area and crossed the region during the early to mid morning hours. This line produced multiple tornadoes across the region as well as straight line wind damage. |
Event Narrative | This tornado is a continuation of the tornado that hit Utica in Clark county Indiana. After crossing the Ohio River the tornado moved into Harrods Creek. Numerous hardwood trees were snapped and a section of roof was blown off a house. The tornado was rated an EF-1 with a maximum wind speed of 100 mph and a width of 100 yards. The tornado lifted just west of US 42. |
