Path width:
Path length:
Time: 8:00pm
Noted discrepancies: SPC gives a path width of 10 yards, NCDC 30 yards. The SPC and NCDC longitude (-88.45) for this tornado is in Marshall County. If changed to -86.45 it is in Warren County (right in Bowling Green). Storm Data reports damage on a farm just south of Bowling Green. Even if using -86.45, that would put the tornado right in the city of Bowling Green, not on a farm south of town. More research reveals that this very small tornado hit the Kenneth Hardcastle property between Hardcastle and Greenhill east-southeast of Bowling Green.
