| June 2013 | Tornado (EF2) | Tonieville | $500,000 | During the late evening hours, a bowing segment embedded within a lengthy line of storms parallel to and south of the Ohio River began to surge southeast. On the northeast section of this segment, a reflectivity notch became apparent. A circulation developed and quickly spawned an EF-2 tornado across northern LaRue County. ||The tornado touched down near the Hardin-LaRue county line between Routes 210 and 61 just northeast of Tonieville. On Castleman Road, just northeast of the Castleman-Carter Brother's Road intersection, a metal shop had its metal sheeting roof removed and thrown downwind around 100 yards. Its garage door was bent and insulation was scattered about. Several trees were uprooted near this location. Damage was estimated as EF-1. ||Downstream, on Carter Brother's Road, a large RV was blown on its side within a mostly destroyed shed. A two story pole tobacco barn was destroyed. Many Red and White Oak trees were either sheared off or had lost many large limbs. Across the road a metal livestock building was destroyed with chaotic damage around a house. Winds here were estimated at around 115 mph, or EF-2.| |Along State Road 1607, not far from the intersection of Salem Church and Dan Dunn Roads, a silo was caved in and a portion of a corn field flattened. ||Considerable damage was surveyed along portions of Slack Road. A one-room schoolhouse was destroyed. A dairy farm had several buildings destroyed, along with many trees uprooted. Based on damage to this dairy farm, tornadic winds up to 130 mph were estimated, near the high end of the EF-2 scale. Also along Slack Road, a two-story house has its entire roof removed. Blown-in insulation was caked on the entire side of a house. A shed was destroyed along with a few trees. The tornado lifted around one fifth of a mile northeast of Nuff Cemetery, near the intersection of Trumbull and Roanoke Roads. |
| January 2023 | Thunderstorm Wind | Tonieville | - | Trees were blown down on Old Elizabethtown Road. |
| March 2021 | Tornado (EF1) | Tonieville | - | The National Weather Service in conjunction with Larue County Emergency Management went on a lengthy storm damage survey across northeast LaRue County. ||A bow echo moving at over 50 mph produced sporadic straight-line wind damage with a distinct tornadic path, primarily along Slack Rd in the Roanoke community. The tornado touched down about a half mile west of 1598 Carter Brothers Road. Aerial photography from a NOAA NWS drone shows distinct swirls along several farmers' properties with damage to a half dozen barns and numerous uprooted and snapped trees. Cedar trees were the most common tree that sustained damage during this tornado. ||At 1598 Carter Brothers Rd, a riding lawn mower was thrown about 50 yards and a garbage can flew 150 yards. There were snapped, twisted, and uprooted trees facing in nearly every direction. Winds at this location were between 90 and 95 miles an hour. ||There were indications that this was an intermittent skipping tornado. Along Dan Dunn Road several barns sustained significant roof and sidewall damage, and a 50 foot by 50 foot chain link fence was bent at 90 degrees along every support post.||The most significant damage of the tornado path was found at 3000 Slack Rd. It destroyed two barns and did significant roof and siding damage to a well-built one-story residential home. Insulation and metal siding were thrown in multiple directions. At the end of the property, aerial drone photography showed trees going in nearly every direction. Wind speeds in this location were estimated to be 100 mph. Residents at the house said they could feel the intense pressure and everything trying to suck out of the house. ||On the way to the next storm damage survey we found sporadic straight line wind damage in Hardin County. This included three mobile homes that sustained roof damage near the Hardin County Fairgrounds. |
