| 12:42Z | EF1 | KLVX | IN | Floyd | Georgetown | At 3424 Hamby Road, several trees were snapped and uprooted. Trees were facing from the east northeast to a southeasterly direction. Branches from the trees were scattered from the northeast to the southeast direction. An outbuilding had some siding and gutter damage. Of particular note was a large, healthy red oak tree that was uprooted with a significant root ball, which hit the far corner of the neighbor's house, doing structural damage to the roof and gutters. | The vast majority of the damage was to the trees, and just off the ground. The tornado topped a few trees at the edge of their property by the forested area, before lifting. Wind speeds of 90 mph were estimated, with a width of 100 yards, across this very short tornado track. |
| 12:46Z | EF0 | KLVX | IN | Floyd | Georgetown | The tornado first touched down on the northwest portion of the Brookside subdivision (near the eastern portion of Georgetown Lake), with a couple larger branches of two older compromised trees twisted off. The Brookside subdivision is located just south of Indiana Route 64 and just east of Baylor Wissman Rd. There were over a dozen homes sustaining shingle, soffit, gutter, and fascia damage with many tarps on roofs. Shingles were thrown from an east northeasterly direction to a east southeasterly direction. There was little if any tree damage inside the subdivision, with one playground lifted and thrown into a fence. Drone photography showed the vast majority of the damage was to shingles and to soffits. The damage was estimated to be EF0 with 80 mph winds. The last damage point was in a wooded area just east of Zachary Trail before interstate 64. One tree was topped in that grove of trees. |
| 12:48Z | EF1 | KLVX | IN | Floyd | Blackiston Mill | The tornado first touched down on the Indiana University Southeast campus, on the west side of the Natural Science and Nursing building. There was roof and siding damage to the building. Trees between the parking lot and Grenadier Drive were |facing east, north, and to the northwest. | Power poles were snapped along Highway 111 (Grant Line Road). Apartments along Countryside Drive had shingle, gutter and downspout damage. However, one of the apartments had a large section of its roof removed with debris being thrown in all |directions. Two people in the apartment building were injured with head lacerations. Shingles were thrown several hundred yards. Trees were uprooted, snapped and twisted along Countryside Drive and Melvyn Drive. Trees were facing from the northwest to the southeasterly direction. Wind speeds in this area were 100 mph |with a width of 125 yards. One house on Melvyn Drive had no damage except for a piece of gutter that was thrown as a missile in a northerly direction through a window into their living room. Thankfully no one was injured at this location. | One outbuilding was thrown to the south, while another outbuilding was thrown to the north, three houses apart. Powerlines were snapped, and one large piece of roofing material from the apartment was impaled into the ground. There was numerous wooden and metal fence damage between Melvyn Drive and Preswick Square. A |very big, healthy oak tree was uprooted and was facing an east northeasterly direction. Wind damage in this area was consistent with an EF1 tornado, winds of 105 miles per hour, and a width of 100 yards. | The last damage was just on the other side of Klerner Lane, which was some low-end EF1 90 mph topped tree damage. In addition to a ground survey, drone photography was used, and there were several videos of a funnel on social media. |
| 12:52Z | EF1 | KLVX | IN | Floyd | Edwardsville | The first damage point towards the western end of McCarthy Knob Road was some straight-line wind damage of some cedars and maple trees of 75 mph. Shortly east of there was more widespread tree damage on the west side of the road and up the hill. There were softwood and hardwood trees twisted, snapped, topped, and uprooted for almost a half a mile which ended near the intersection of Budd Road. | A tree fell on the back side of the house, causing some gutter and fascia damage. There were several power lines down and two power poles pushed over. The maximum tornado winds were 90 mph. |
| 12:57Z | EF1 | KLVX | IN | Floyd | Edwardsville | The first area of damage was at The Sporting Club at the Farm on Indiana State Road 111. Two large barns had significant roof damage and there was shingle and soffit damage to a large, well-built house. Of significance, a 110-pound storm cellar door was sucked out and thrown almost 100 yards to the east. There were 3 trees uprooted |and facing from north to an easterly direction. | The 600-pound sign for the sporting club was lifted up and moved to the north several feet. The tornado crossed Highway 111 and snapped and twisted over a dozen trees along the west side of the Ohio River. Because of the 110-pound bolted tornado shelter door being sucked out, the tornado rating increased from 95 to 100 mph. The |width was 100 yards wide. | The tornado continued near Five Mile Lane and River Road in Floyd County along the Ohio River where shingles were lost on a residence and a barn garage received significant roof damage where the metal panels were peeled off. The tornado then crossed the Ohio River into Kentucky in the Lake Dreamland area of West Louisville in western Jefferson County. |
| 12:58Z | EF0 | KLVX | KY | Jefferson | Riverside Gardens | The tornado touched down at the Sporting Club at the Farm in Floyd County, Indiana before it traveled a short distance and cross the river into Kentucky. The tornado entered Kentucky in the Lake Dreamland area of West Louisville in western Jefferson County. Significant tree damage was observed along River Front Drive and continued along Kale Dreamland Road where several hardwood trees were snapped or uprooted, along with many large branches down. | The tornado continued along Kramers Lane toward Van Winkle Drive, where damage appeared to be sparser with large branches down in some isolated areas. Very isolated areas of large branches down continued through the Heatherfield and St. Dennis neighborhoods (and across I-264 Watterson Expressway) and toward the Louisville |Memorial Gardens. Along Lynn Lea Road, the tornado regained strength and continued through homes along Kendall Lane west of 31W Dixie Highway. Trees were snapped heading on the east side of Hunters Trace neighborhood. Significant tree damage was observed along Malcolm Road just north of Gagel Avenue. Several hardwood trees were uprooted or snapped with damage consistent with 94 mph winds in this location. No visible damage was observed to the southeast beyond Gagel Avenue where the tornado ended. |
| 13:25Z | EF0 | KLVX | KY | Shelby | Joyes | A Valero gas station sign was pushed to the east and towards Highway 55 (Taylorsville Road), with some of the sign damage thrown across Highway 55 onto Pearce Industrial Road. The next damage was at the Black and Decker plant off of Harry Long Road. There was significant roofing damage across several portions of the roof to be lifted and thrown 30-40 yards. All of the debris from the roof was pushed to the east-southeast. | There were 3 business and home videos that all faced toward the Black and Decker warehouse, where you can definitely see a narrow funnel in contact with the ground. This was key to this tornado rating as drone photography showed almost no damage between the Valero Gas Station and B & D roof structure. There was not a single tree |snapped or twisted and a large cell tower right in its path had no damage. Based on the videos and the damage to the B & D roofing structure, the survey team came up with a EF0 75 mph rating, with a width of 30 yards. | The survey team drove across several intersecting roads within a two mile radius along old Finchville Road over to Zaring Mill Road and found no other damage. |
| 22:48Z | EF1 | KDVN | IA | Muscatine | West Liberty | This tornado developed just NNW of West Liberty and tracked across the far northeast part of town before eventually crossing over U.S. Highway 6 between West Liberty and Atalissa, and diminishing shortly after. The extent of the damage was mainly to outbuildings, with several walls and roofs collapsed and in some cases blown across a downstream field. A few large trees and two utility poles were also snapped. A large metal batting cage anchored into concrete was twisted and bent sharply at its base. |
| 23:30Z | EF0 | KGSP | NC | Henderson | Dana | NWS storm survey found the path of an EF0 tornado that touched down near the intersection of Leslie Way and Sugarloaf Rd and tracked southeast across Sugarloaf Ln and near Naomi Dr. Damage was primarily limited to multiple uprooted trees and snapped large limbs in this area, although minor damage occurred to the roof of one home and to the exterior of a manufactured home. A couple of other houses were damaged by falling trees. The path became more intermittent from there, but additional tree damage was found in a wooded area southeast of Naomi Ln. This was the first confirmed tornado in Henderson County since 21 August 1977, when an F1 tornado tracked from the Dana community into the Green River Game Land area of Polk County. |
| 23:30Z | EFU | KLOT | IL | Kankakee | Grant Park | A video shared shows a landspout-type tornado kicking up dust in a field southwest of Route 1 and Route 17 near Grant Park. Time was estimated based on radar. |
