Survey Summary:

The National Weather Service conducted a storm damage survey for the 
storms that went through Warren County just before Noon CST on New 
Year’s Day. The storm damage team found an area of straight line 
winds of 70 to 75 mph, beginning at the Hunting Creek subdivision 
off of Cave Mill Road. Along Cave Mill Road fences were blown down, 
minor shingle damage to homes occurred, and many pine and cedar 
trees were snapped and topped.  At the intersection of Curtis and Cave Mill Rd, there was a change 
in the damage pattern. The damage became more concentrated with 
gutters, shingles, roof, and soffit damage. Trees were snapped and 
uprooted facing to the north, northeast, and east southeasterly 
direction. Clear evidence was found of a weak tornado that formed 
with winds estimated between 80 and 85 mph. The tornado was slightly 
elevated off the ground and was very intermittent. The tornado lifted just before the Marriott TownePlace Suites on 
Cave Mill Rd, and then there was sporadic straight-wind damage all 
the way to Ashton Parc Apartments off of Shive Lane. Thornton 
Furniture had the most damage from the straight-line winds with 
roofing and facade damage.The National Weather Service would like to thank White Squirrel 
Weather and the WKU meteorology students for their assistance with 
the storm survey.
