| Episode Narrative | Powerful low pressure moved across Kentucky and created an environment favorable for tornado development. Clusters of thunderstorms developed during the evening hours and persisted overnight. The atmosphere was moderately unstable and strongly sheared. |
| Event Narrative | A survey conducted by the National Weather Service concluded an EF1 tornado with winds to 100 mph first touched down south of Swift Creek Rd. and damaged a few trees before overturning a RV trailer where one occupant was injured. A mobile home was destroyed in this area and a utility trailer was flipped. Numerous trees were snapped or uprooted as the tornado continued north across Swift Creek Rd. It was in this area where several homes sustained damage to siding and awnings and one business was also damaged. The tornado continued across Hartland Dr. and lifted in a stand of trees after crossing S Marquis Highway. |
