Notes: The tornado initially touched down near the Hardin-LaRue County line between routes 210 and 61 just north of Tonieville. From there the tornado moved northeast. On Castleman Road, just north of the intersection with Carter Brothers Road, a metal shop building had its metal sheet roof taken off and thrown downwind 150 yards. The garage doors were bent and pushed in. Insulation was everywhere. Several trees were uprooted. Here the tornado was estimated to be EF1 with a maximum wind speed of 105 mph. On Carter Brothers Road a large RV inside a metal shed was blown onto its side and the shed was destroyed. A two-story pole tobacco barn was also destroyed. Red and white oak and walnut trees were sheared off. Across the road a metal livestock building was destroyed. Here the tornado was estimated at EF2 with 115mph winds. Next, along KY 1607, not far from Salem Church Road and Dan Dunn Road, a silo was crumbled and some parts of a corn field were mashed sown. Some bradford pear trees were uprooted on Dan Dunn Road. Considerable damage occurred on parts of Slack Road. A one room schoolhouse was destroyed. A dairy farming operation lost several barns, along with some trees that were uprooted. The worst damage was at the dairy farm where winds were estimated around 135 mph, or high-end EF2. Also on Slack Road a two-story house lost its entire roof. Insulation was caked onto the entire back side of the house opposite the direction of travel of the tornado. A shed was blown down and some trees were uprooted. The winds at this location were estimated around 120 mpg (EF2). The exact end point of the tornado was difficult to determine as it went into a thickly wooded area with limited access. The tornado may have skipped a few times along its path.
