Survey Summary:
A storm damage team surveyed EF1 tornado damage with a max wind
speed around 95 mph and a max width of 90 yards in Lincoln and
Garrard Counties. The tornado touched down near the intersection
of US Highway 27 South and KY Highway 698, where it collapsed a
barn and topped some softwood trees. The tornado then continued
south of Rowland where some more trees were topped.

Downstream the tornado uprooted some trees near Stingy Creek 
Road. The tornado then continued to the Lincoln/Garrard County 
line in the Preachersville community. Several outbuildings on 
blocks were moved or destroyed, fence posts and barbed wire fences
were ripped out and severely bent, and fencing was thrown in 
multiple directions across Highway 39. A single family home had a 
few shingles off, and the gutter was bent. There were several barn
panels damaged, with metal sheeting ripped apart. The tornado 
weakened near the Fall Lick Road and Drakes Creek Road 
intersection where some large tree limbs were downed and some 
barns had minor damage. The tornado lifted just beyond this 
intersection.

The National Weather Service Louisville would like to thank 
Lincoln County Emergency Management and Kentucky State Emergency 
Management for their assistance in this storm survey.
