Tornado - Mount Aerial, KY Allen County Date 06/21/2019 Time (Local) 7:39 PM CDT EF Rating EF1 Est. Peak Winds 95 mph Path Length 4.6 miles Max Width 125 yards Injuries/Deaths 0/0 Summary: The National Weather Service in conjunction with Allen County EMA conducted a storm survey across the western half of Allen County. There was significant straight line wind damage across much of the county facing an easterly and southeasterly direction. Interspersed with the straight line wind damage was at least one tornado across western Allen County north of and paralleling KY 585. The tornado touched down near the Horseshoe Ford Road and Horseshoe Bend Road intersection. There were numerous large hardwood trees split, twisted, and uprooted facing from northerly to southeasterly. Horseshoe Bend Road was closed due to trees down across the road and from flooding. Winds in this area were estimated to be between 90 and 95 mph. Further east along Mayhew Road a large, well-built barn was uplifted and removed from its foundation with several cedar and maple trees twisted and snapped. Across a farmer's field, corn was flattened and twisted in multiple directions. Large, heavy fuel tanks were rolled in two different directions on Mayhew Road. Several barns and outbuilding had roof damage as well. At the Mayhew and Pope Road intersection there was extensive softwood and hardwood tree damage, especially around the Harmony Missionary Baptist Church at 5226 Pope Road. Residents said there was a major pressure change with the tornado. There were indications there may have been more than one tornado as tree positions would go from a tornadic circulation of northeasterly to southeasterly direction and then to all straight line wind damage in an easterly wind direction, then back to a tornadic circulation in multiple directions. Radar supports this ground analysis with mesovortices along the leading edge of the potent squall line. The width of the individual circulations varied between 75 and 125 yards with widespread straight line wind damage all around.  Most of the wind damage was between 85 and 95 mph. More tree and power line damage was along KY 585 near Shores Road. The tornado dissipated halfway between the intersection of KY 585 and Shores Road and the intersection of Shirk Road and Grider Drive. The survey crew traveled all along southern Allen County south of Scottsville and found straight line winds facing east and southeasterly directions. The National Weather Service is grateful to Allen County Emergency Manager Gary Petty,  NWS Pathways Intern CJ Padgett, NOAA Hollings Scholar Kristene Chen, and NWS volunteer Olivia Cahill for all their help with the storm survey.

Summary:  THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CONDUCTED A STORM DAMAGE SURVEY ACROSS SOUTHEAST ALLEN COUNTY TO ASSESS DAMAGE FROM THE STORMS ON FRIDAY EVENING, JUNE 21. THERE WAS A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF STRAIGHT LINE WIND DAMAGE ACROSS SOUTHERN ALLEN COUNTY. MOST OF THIS DAMAGE HAD WIND SPEEDS BETWEEN 60-65 MPH ALL FACING EAST SOUTHEAST DIRECTION. THERE WERE TWO SIGNIFICANT AREAS OF STRAIGHT LINE WIND DAMAGE. THERE WAS A BARN NORTH OF AMOS ON HIGHWAY 99. THE SECOND WAS TWO LARGE BARNS JUST NORTH OF HAYESVILLE, TN. INTERSPERSED AMONGST THE STRAIGHT LINE WIND DAMAGE WAS A TORNADO WHICH FIRST TOUCHED DOWN A HALF MILE EAST OF AMOS. A FAMILY FARM HAD NUMEROUS TREES TWISTED, SNAPPED, AND UPROOTED. SEVERAL BARNS SUSTAINED SEVERE STRUCTURAL DAMAGE TO THE ROOFS. A DOZEN OR SO PORTIONS OF TWO BY FOURS WERE IMPALED INTO THE GROUND IN MULTIPLE DIRECTIONS. FURTHER SOUTHEAST ON HIGHLAND CHURCH ROAD NUMEROUS TREES WERE UPROOTED AND SNAPPED WITH TREES FACING FROM THE NORTH NORTHEAST TO THE SOUTHEAST DIRECTION. THERE WAS CLEAR EVIDENCE THAT THE TORNADO WENT TO THE TENNESSEE STATE LINE IN MACON COUNTY AS WE COULD SEE TREES SNAPPED AND UPROOTED ON THE STATE LINE WHICH CORRELATES WELL THE NWS NASHVILLE STORM SURVEY ACROSS MACON COUNTY. AT 2592 HIGHLAND CHURCH ROAD (HIGHLAND GENERAL BAPTIST CHURCH) THERE WAS SIGNIFICANT BRICK DAMAGE ON THE WEST, SOUTH AND EAST SIDES OF THE CHURCH DUE TO OPEN VENTS. THE SURVEY CREW ZIG ZAGGED ACROSS ROADS SOUTH OF SCOTTSVILLE TO HIGHWAY 31 BUT ONLY FOUND SPORADIC STRAIGHT LINE TREE AND BARN DAMAGE ALL FACING SOUTHEASTERLY DIRECTION. THE VERY LAST CONCENTRATED AREA OF DAMAGE THE TEAM FOUND WAS AT 444 OLD BUCK CREEK ROAD WERE THERE WAS NUMEROUS SOFTWOOD TREE DAMAGE AT THE RESIDENCE WITH POWER POLES DOWN ACROSS THE ROAD. THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE WOULD LIKE TO THANK WBKO METEOROLOGIST SHANE HOLINDE, WKU METEOROLOGY STUDENT MATTHEW WINE, NWS STUDENT VOLUNTEERS EVAN HATTER AND OLIVIA CAHILL, AND FUTURE METEOROLOGIST COOPER BENNETT WITH THEIR ASSISTANCE WITH THE STORM SURVEY.

The enhanced Fujita (EF) Scale classifies tornadoes into the following categories:  

EF0 Weak 65-85 mph	EF1 Moderate 86-110 mph	EF2 Significant 111-135 mph	EF3 Severe 136-165 mph	EF4 Extreme 166-200 mph	EF5 Catastrophic 200+ mph
