| March 2017 | Tornado (EF1) | Vienna | 10 hurt, $250,000 | The National Weather Service in conjunction with Scott County Emergency Management, determined an EF-1 Tornado touched down 4 miles south of Scottsburg, on Interstate 65 at approximately mile marker 25.5. After overturning a semi tractor-trailer on the Interstate, the tornado moved east-southeast, collapsed a wall on a large cinder block building, then destroyed two metal outbuildings and flipped an unanchored mobile home on a farmstead 1/4 mile east. It continued skipping east, uprooting and snapping trees and destroying an anchored mobile home on Underwood Road. Three residents were in the home at the time when it rolled over and disintegrated. They received minor injuries. The tornado then damaged an outbuilding and numerous more trees as it headed east toward Double or Nothing Road. Near the intersection of Double or Nothing Road and Radio Tower Road, it destroyed a large garage and pushed a double-wide manufactured home off its foundation. The tornado was embedded in a 1-2 mile wide area of 60 to 80 mph winds that extended further east for over 10 miles, and may have briefly touched down within this area as well.||Within the county, this tornado and two areas of straight-line wind resulted in approximately 23 minor injuries and the closure of seven roadways across the county. |

An EF-1 tornado was embedded within this area just east of Interstate 65. ||Between this area and another to the northeast of Austin, the Scott Emergency Manager reported that at least 15 homes were severely damaged, including those damaged by the tornado. Within the county, the winds and tornado resulted in approximately 23 minor injuries.
