OVERVIEW:
A National Weather Service survey, conducted with Bullitt County
Emergency management, confirmed a small EF-0 tornado touched down in
southern Bullitt County, just east of the eastern boundary of Fort
Knox Army Base. This rain-wrapped tornado was only on the ground for
about minute, with most of its damage limited to large limbs and
weaker tree trunks being snapped.  The tornado started along Belmont
Rd (KY Highway 251) 0.7 miles west of Belmont, then traveled
east-northeast through the community of Belmont, and lifting just
east of Church Street. At least three homes were damaged, two from
trees falling on them, with minor roofing damage to a third.  Trees
also fell on at least two out buildings.
