Survey Summary:
This fairly long-tornado, for a squall line, started off as a
trio of funnels that merged into one tornado at touchdown, per
eyewitness accounts on a farm off Bethlehem Rd. Multiple
structures on the farm had damage. The tornado continued east
southeast thru rural parts of southern Bourbon county with few
roads to gain good access to damage, but there were some trees
down in Sidville and south of Escondida.  The most extensive and
widespread damage occurred at Hidden Rose Farm. A lot of people
had gathered to fix the damage, but evidence of the tornado still
was clear. An open arena structure almost totally collapsed, with
one wall standing. Another downstream stable had roof damage
including a 4x6 wood beam that was lodged in the metal roof,
though that roof was fixed by the time of the survey. Multiple
trailers were flipped as well. 2 horses were taken to the animal
hospital and 4 others had lacerations.   The tornado continued
southeast to a large property off the 6700 block of Paris Rd, in
far north Clark County. The home had several older healthy trees
near the home downed as well as a barn demolished. A very old
stone cabin downwind of the home escaped damage, likely because
of the upstream trees and the home structure.   Some additional
tree damage occurred along Pretty Run Rd. The tornado last caused
damage to a large new barn in Wades Mill area before lifting.
Thanks to the Bourbon and Clark County emergency management for
their assistance with the survey, as well as several property
owners who led us on tours of their properties.
