The Louisville Courier-Journal mentions two tornadoes in Washington County on this day. One in the Livonia, Smedley, and Salem areas, and the other in the Fredericksburg/Martinsburg area. This project has been unable to find any corroboration of this at Storm Data, NCDC, SPC, or Grazulis (though, in the interest of full disclosure, the entry for Indiana in this month's Storm Data simply says, "No Data Received"). Also, the tornado in the Fredericksburg/Martinsburg area may be the tornado listed next, which is officially placed just across the border in far northern Harrison County. The only specific damage mentioned by the Courier-Journal from either of these potential tornadoes is a mobile home losing its roof at Smedley. At this time will not plot any tornadoes in Washington County.
