Survey Summary:
The National Weather Service conducted a storm survey in Meade
and Hardin County, near the communities of Flaherty and Radcliff,
and determined an EF-1 tornado with maximum winds of 100 mph
occurred the evening of March 30th, 2025. The tornado had a path
length of 7.21 miles and a width of 50 yards.  

The first damage to be observed was just south of Flaherty 
Elementary school to a farm outbuilding where major roof loss was 
observed. A nearby residence also had roof damage occur. The 
tornado continued across Flaherty Road and Joe Prather Highway 
damaging several trees along the way near Rabbit Run Road. The 
tornado continued across rural sections of Meade County before 
striking a residence and a garage. The roof lifted over the house 
and landed about 100 yards away. Siding and tree damage indicated 
several different directions, indicative of rotation. 

The tornado continued along Rogers Lake Road with several trees 
in different directions, continuing to indicate the rotational 
damage of the tornado. The damage continued into neighborhoods in 
west Radcliff along Red Hill Road where isolated tree damage, both
uproots and snaps, were observed. The last observable damage was 
near US Highway 31 where isolated tree damage was observed near 
the Walmart in Radcliff. 

The National Weather Service would like to thank Meade County 
Emergency Management for their assistance with providing locations
of damage, and to the helpful homeowners who gave their accounts 
of the tornado and provided access to their properties.
