Episode Narrative A strong area of low pressure tracked across the Ohio Valley on April 5. With an unseasonably warm and humid air mass in place, several lines of strong to severe thunderstorms developed across the area. This resulted in large hail and damaging winds across central Kentucky. There were also 4 tornadoes reported in central Kentucky.
Event Narrative The tornado touched down in an open field and moved northeast toward a corner on Mahogany Lane. Two small vortices, one 50 yards wide and the other 100 yards wide, reached speeds up to 105 mph as they destroyed a large, well-built barn and two smaller outbuildings in addition to a fifth wheel trailer. The debris from each of these structures was blown to the northeast up to �� mile, and exhibited both convergence and rotation.
