Episode Narrative A series of upper level disturbances moved from the Upper Midwest into the lower Ohio Valley and interacted with a moist, warm and unstable atmosphere. Strong to severe thunderstorms developed and then organized into bowing segments across the area, spawning three weak tornadoes in addition to widespread areas of downburst wind damage. Thousands of trees were downed, causing scattered power outages and some structural damage. In addition, due to the very wet antecedent conditions, flash flooding occurred in several locations, resulting in closed and impassable roads, water rescues and significant property damage. The most widespread and hardest hit areas were along and east of Interstate 65 in central Kentucky. Rainfall amounts over the period were in excess of 5 to 7 inches. Several rivers across the region went above flood stage, cresting several feet above flood stage.
Event Narrative This brief tornado tracked for approximately 1.1 miles with a maximum width of 50 yards. The highest winds were estimated to have been 95 to 105 mph. The tornado destroyed two barns and one mobile home in addition to considerable roof damage to six outbuildings along Ebenezer Road and Highway 61 southeast of Greensburg.
