June 29, 1979
Counties: Franklin, Scott KY, Harrison KY
F-scale:  F2
Deaths:
Injuries: 7
Path width:
Path length:
Time: 6:00pm
Noted discrepancies: SPC and NCDC list this as an F2, Grazulis does not list it. NCDC's county-by-county lat/lons result in a very strange path. Will use more logical SPC lat/lons for plotting. Storm Data has this tornado touch down four miles north of Frankfort and moves it to Georgetown and near Cynthiana. Further research would be good, to confirm this tornado's track.
