Overview

Clusters of thunderstorms formed over southwest Indiana and western Kentucky early in the afternoon. Several of these storms produced large hail or damaging wind. However, the main event was a line of severe thunderstorms that entered southeast Missouri about mid-afternoon and then tracked east across western Kentucky and far southern Illinois late in the afternoon and early in the evening. Corridors of intense wind damage were associated with this line, including 7 EF-1 tornadoes. One of these tornadoes touched down in Paducah, causing damage to the Lone Oak, Hendron, and south side areas of town.
