| October 2014 | Tornado (EF1) | Natlee | $45,000 | In Owen County, a storm survey revealed that a weak tornado touched down west of Kentucky State Route 1883 with damage to some trees. More tree damage was found along Paynes Run Road, in addition to an outbuilding that was destroyed with debris lofted into an adjacent valley. Where Paynes Run Road intersects with New Columbus Road, several homes sustained minor roof damage with windows blown out, as well as significant tree damage. The tornado continued along New Columbus Road where a porch was lifted from a home (its final resting place still is unknown) and roof damage occurred to the home itself. From here the tornado damage became intermittent along the south side of New Columbus Road and Dudley Pike, with instances of tree damage, outbuildings destroyed and minor roof damage to several homes. The last instances of tornado damage in Owen County were found along portions of Leaning Oak Road where damage consisted of peeled back roofing material on barns, many trees snapped or uprooted and roof damage to homes. ||According to the survey from NWS Louisville, the storm quickly crossed into Scott County and struck North Rays Fork Road where it snapped and uprooted trees. Moving to the east-southeast, tree damage was found along South Rays Fork Road east of Stonewall. The tornado lifted just west of the Harrison County line. The only structural damage along the path was to a home near the top of a small hill close to the end of the path. The porch roof was ripped from the home and thrown over the building, with significant roof damage. Also, an above ground pool was destroyed. The damage in Scott County supports an estimated maximum wind speed of 107 mph (EF1). |
