| February 2011 | Tornado (EF3) | Bellview | 1 hurt, $500,000 | A NWS storm survey confirmed an EF-3 tornado with wind speeds of up to 140 mph in Henry county. The tornado touched down just to the southwest of KY 1899 (Mulberry Pike), crossing into Springhill Estates subdivision. Two homes were destroyed here along with three outbuildings. Trees were uprooted and snapped. The tornado then weakened as it traveled across KY 1359. Fifteen power poles were blown down along the highway. One barn was destroyed and another had the roof blown off. The tornado continued across KY 22 where trees were blown down and one outbuilding was damaged. The tornado lifted near Drennon Creek. |
| April 2017 | Tornado (EF1) | Bellview | $100,000 | The National Weather Service surveyed a small tornado path in Henry County. There were also areas of wind and hail damage along US 421. The first evidence of tornado damage was just south of US 421 where the tornado passed between two farms. Barns on either side of the path were damaged with the debris thrown clockwise which showed an anticyclonic rotation. Also, a nearby houses siding was severely damaged by hail, with witnesses saying the hail was several inches deep. The tornado crossed US 421 and continued northeast. The last evidence of a tornado was at a house on Point Pleasant Road. The tornado blew in a garage door and caused siding damage again due to hail. |
