|---|---|---|---|---|
| March 2017 | Tornado (EF1) | Turners Station | $100,000 | A NWS damage survey team in conjunction with Justin Hilliard-Remote Aerial LLC concluded that an EF-1 tornado touched down 2 miles north of Campbellsburg, KY, traveled 1 mile (crossing I-71 and overturning a truck), and then lifted 2.2 miles NE of Campbellsburg. The most significant damage occurred on Jones Ln where 100 mph winds completely destroyed a couple of large barns, along with other small outbuildings. In addition, a large grain bin was demolished, and an anchored mobile home was pushed off its foundation on the north side of the damage path. A large debris field was scattered 200-300 yards downwind. East of I-71, the tornado damaged more outbuildings, and snapped trees. After destroying another older barn, the tornado ended just east of Highway 55 where numerous softwood trees were snapped and uprooted. Very strong convergence was noted in the damage. Also of note, were several instances of straight line wind damage feeding into the main circulation from the south. These wind speeds were estimated at 70-80 mph. We would like to thank Justin Hilliard-Remote Aerial LLC for aerial drone photos. |
| March 2017 | Thunderstorm Wind | Turners Station | $75,000 | Local Fire Department reported that several barns sustained structural damage or were destroyed due to severe thunderstorm winds. There was also major roof damage on newer construction homes along with large uprooted trees. The highest concentration of damage was on Jones Road near State Road 55. |
| March 2012 | Thunderstorm Wind | Turners Station | $5,000 | The mesocyclone of a supercell thunderstorm moved across far northern Henry County. A National Weather Service survey observed several large limbs down and a whole row of power poles leaning across Bishops Lane east of Campbellsburg. |
| February 2018 | Flood | Turners Station | - | Kentucky Highway 574 flooded. |
