|---|---|---|---|---|
| July 2014 | Tornado (EF0) | Ethridge | $150,000 | A tornado touched down on Craigs Creek Lake where substantial damage occurred to a large dock near the marina entrance along US Route 42. A section of roofing and the associated supporting structure measuring approximately 75 by 75 feet was destroyed and deposited immediately to the southwest of the original location. The entire dock measured approximately 100 by 225 feet and was attached to a number of metal poles anchored into the lake bottom. These poles were approximately 6 inches in diameter and were all bent at least several degrees toward the southwest, indicating the entire structure was moved in that direction. This movement was perpendicular to the apparent storm motion at that time as ascertained from radar.||Tree damage was also observed on an island approximately 150 yards east of this dock. Several 4 to 8 inch diameter trees had fallen toward the northwest. Additional trees of similar size were also noted to be downed along the western shore of the lake near Knox Lillard Road, approximately a half mile southeast of the intersection with US Route 42. Roof covering and several concrete cinder blocks securing a patio roof were lifted from a structure along the shoreline. This material was deposited 50 to 100 feet south of the original location.||The tornado ended just before Hillandale Drive where some minor tree damage occurred along the shoreline. |
| July 2014 | Thunderstorm Wind | Ethridge | $20,000 | Thunderstorm winds uprooted several trees and caused some minor roof and siding damage to structures along a west to east swath through Warsaw. Damage also occurred to the roof, fencing and bleachers at Gallatin High School. |
