Power Outage in Elizabethtown, KY

Tornado. A narrow, but powerful, EF-2 tornado developed quickly in the Cecilia area late Sunday evening, as a cluster of thunderstorms briefly interacted with an east-west oriented outflow boundary from earlier storm activity. The storm first caused tree damage along Long Grove Rd near Tabb Rd. A property near this intersection had several trees uprooted and snapped as well as limbs down. On the south side of Tabb Rd. roofing material from the northern side landed on that property. An RV that had been along a row of trees south of Tabb Rd was forced onto its side as well.||The tornado continued southeast across cropland. Drone footage indicated a nice swath of damage in the corn. The tornado then affected two homes on the end of Basham Lane. The first house had a carport thrown to the right of the track into an open field. An AC unit was flipped on its side at the house and a brick facade wall came off the house structure. Farther southeast, the strongest winds occurred as the tornado pulled up the wide front porch of a house and then peeled the roof back. Parts of the roof landed upstream of where the tornado caused the damage. A gazebo behind the house was thrown in a counter clockwise fashion back to the other side of the house. Two parked trucks were shifted from their location as well. Damage continued in the corn field southeast of property, with drone footage indicating some jagged movement of the tornado on the ground.||It continued just past another row of trees where it impacted a barn before the tornado lifted.||The survey drove to several other sites across the county...along Black Branch, Hayden School, Rineyville, and Locust Grove roads. The rest of the damage had trees falling generally toward the south, in line with straight lined winds on the order of 80-90 mph.

Tornado. An EF-1 tornado touched down near Long Hollow Road and snapped or uprooted several trees which resulted in the road being blocked and powerlines coming down. The tornado continued to the northeast and did sporadic wind damage. It approached Rineyville-Big Springs Road where it hit a couple of farm buildings and resulted in wall and roof damage. The width of the tornado was fairly narrow as a nearby farm building was untouched/unharmed. The tornado continued to race off to the northeast and caused sporadic tree damage. The tornado eventually lifted in a heavily wooded area near the Cochran family farm.
