Rating: EF2 Estimated Peak Wind: 120 mph Path Length /statute/: 4.89 miles Path Width /maximum/: 400 yards Fatalities: 0 Injuries: 1 Start Date: 04/03/2025 Start Time: 01:04 AM CDT Start Location: 1 WNW Griderville / Barren County / KY Start Lat/Lon: 37.1219 / -85.8939 End Date: 04/03/2025 End Time: 01:09 AM CDT End Location: 1 SSW Seymour / Barren County / KY End Lat/Lon: 37.1511 / -85.8132 Survey Summary: A tornado tracked across northern Barren County during the early morning hours on Thursday, April 3rd. The tornado was on the ground for just under five miles and about five minutes, tracking from the southwest to the northeast. The tornado peaked at EF2 intensity with maximum winds of 120 mph and had a maximum width of approximately 400 yards. The tornado first touched down along Jack Turner Road, approximately three and a half miles east-southeast of Cave City. An older wooden barn was completely destroyed; given the construction of the barn, a more conservative wind estimate of 105 mph was given for this damage. The tornado then tracked over open farmland for about one mile before causing damage to several structures along Spillman Road. Parts of the roof were taken off of several barns, and additional damage to a mobile home was noted. Winds in this area were estimated at EF1 strength, between 90 and 95 mph. As the tornado moved across US Route 31E, more significant damage was observed with a roof being blown off a single story home. Damage from this house was thrown a quarter of a mile downstream, with winds in this area being estimated at 120 mph, or EF2 strength. About 400 yards downstream, several barns and other outbuildings were impacted by the tornado, with damage ranging from minor peeling of roofing material to complete destruction of a shed. The intensity of the tornado was difficult to assess over the next one and a quarter miles as it once again passed over mainly open farmland. Another area of significant structural damage occurred along Hiseville Bear Wallow Road, where substantial losses of roofing material was observed at one residence, and the entire roof was taken off another residence. The damage in this area was consistent with wind speeds of 115 to 120 mph, or EF2 strength. Scattered snapped and uprooted trees were also observed in this area. Damage intensity lessened considerably beyond this point, with minor tree damage noted just west of Rock Springs Church Road, indicative of EF0 strength with 80 mph winds. The tornado lifted near Rock Springs Church Road, about 0.6 miles south of the Hart County line. NWS Louisville would like to thank Barren County Emergency Management for helping us quickly find the damage points and for uploading ground and aerial photos ahead of the survey. We would also like to thank the residents of the affected areas who were extremely generous with their time. && EF Scale: The Enhanced Fujita Scale classifies tornadoes into the following categories: EF0.....65 to 85 mph EF1.....86 to 110 mph EF2.....111 to 135 mph EF3.....136 to 165 mph EF4.....166 to 200 mph EF5.....>200 mph NOTE: The information in this statement is preliminary and subject to change pending final review of the event and publication in NWS Storm Data. $$ CSG/MK
