Survey Summary:

...EF-1 Tornado with Maximum Winds of 90MPH in Madison County, 
Kentucky...

The National Weather Service damage survey team found 2 tornadoes in 
Madison county Kentucky from the storms during the early morning 
hours of December 11. This summary covers tornado #1.

The first tornado touched down just west of Highway 595 northwest of 
the Kirksville community in western Madison county. There were some 
twisted trees in a forest grove. The tornado then hit an old 
farmhouse as well as a 30 X 50 foot barn. Damage from the barn was 
thrown to the southeast, east, northeast, and northerly direction. 
There were snapped and uprooted trees on the property at 981 
Kirksville road. This tornado was very intermittent and was skipping 
with peak wind speeds of 90 mph, and widths ranging from 40 yards to 
a max of 75 yards. 

The NWS drone found a few twisted trees up to a quarter of a mile 
northeast of the farmhouse. There was no damage past that point. 
Immediately north of the farmhouse tornado damage, there was an 
older barn destroyed as well as an older tree knocked over. This was 
straight line wind damage of 50 to 55 mph. 

The National Weather Service would like to thank Madison County 
Emergency Management for their assistance with this survey.
