| April 2024 | Tornado (EF1) | Monterey | - | This fairly long-tornado, for a squall line, started off as a trio of funnels that merged into one tornado at touchdown, per eyewitness accounts on a farm off Bethlehem Road. Multiple structures on the farm had damage. The tornado continued east|southeast thru rural parts of southern Bourbon County with few roads to gain good access to damage, but there were some trees down in Sidville and south of Escondida. The most extensive and widespread damage occurred at Hidden Rose Farm. A lot of people had gathered to fix the damage, but evidence of the tornado still was clear. An open arena structure almost totally collapsed, with one wall standing. Another downstream stable had roof damage including a 4x6 wood beam that was lodged in the metal roof, though that roof was fixed by the time of the survey. Multiple trailers were flipped as well. 2 horses were taken to the animal hospital and 4 others had lacerations. The tornado continued southeast to a large property off the 6700 block of Paris Rd, in far north Clark County. In total the tornado covered 13.44 miles. ||This EF1 tornado covered 13.44 miles in total. |
| August 2016 | Thunderstorm Wind | Monterey | - | County officials reported a large tree down on Lexington Road. |
