Survey Summary:

A storm damage team surveyed EF1 tornado damage with a max wind
speed around 110 mph and a max width of 125 yards in Taylor
county Kentucky. The tornado touched down southwest of Burdick
along Milder Creek Road and Lemon Bend Road where cedar tree
damage occurred.  The tornado then continued between Joe Kerr
Road and Gilpin Road, twisting trees and damaging a roof
structure.  The tornado then continued to Joe Kerr Road and
Milder Creek Road, where it took a roof off a garage barn and did
damage to several trees. 

The tornado continued across KY Highway 55 and did tree damage
along Lone Valley Road with several trees uprooted and large 
branches damaged. Damage continued to be observed to the northeast
along Strawberry Farm Road where several trees were snapped for a
max width of 125 yards. Nearby Tuckers Tiki Bar and Restaurant 
had significant roof damage where an estimated peak wind speed of 
110 mph occurred with this tornado. 

The tornado moved to the east where tree damage occurred along 
State Park Road in Green River Lake State Park. The tornado 
continued skipping across mainly rural areas of Green River Lake 
State Park before significant damage occurred on County Park Road 
in Taylor County Park, where several trees had been topped off or 
snapped. The tornado lifted after doing more tree damage at the 
end of Capps Road, just before going back over Green River Lake. 

The National Weather Service Louisville would like to thank Taylor
