| When | Event | Place named | Harm | What the report says |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| April 2025 | Tornado (EF1) | Rutland | - | A storm damage team surveyed tornado damage in Harrison County, Kentucky near Berry and Antioch from the storms on April 3rd, 2025. Damage was first observed to a farm along Kentucky Highway 36 West near Casey Mill Road where a barn had some damage to the doors, roof and siding. The tornado continued along Casey Mill Road where a travel trailer was rolled upside down, but remained intact, and a residence had roof damage to one side of the home. Evidence of a tornadic circulation was noted here with boards impaled into the back side of the home from where the roof was torn off. The only possible explanation for this would be rotation, or if the boards came from a structure upstream. ||The storm continued near Berry where several trees were uprooted. The storm continued across Eureka and Petty Roads where a camper was flipped and a barn was leaning to one side after the wind occurred. Just to the west of US Highway 27, and south of Antioch, a barn was leveled from the tornado. The maximum wind along the |path of this tornado was between 95 and 100 mph. |
| August 2019 | Thunderstorm Wind | Rutland | - | There was a report of a tree down on Hinton Webber Road. |
