In Hopkinsville, a 22-year-old man sustained an arm injury when a tree landed on his moving car on Highway 380. The injury required hospital treatment, but it was not life-threatening. Another tree fell in Pembroke. Power outages were reported. A wind gust to 57 mph was measured along the west bypass in Hopkinsville at 2:57 P.M. CDT.
A funnel cloud skipped along the ground near the Christian/Todd County line. This was the first of two touchdowns of the same tornado. Along U.S. Highway 68 just inside Christian County, near the Jefferson Davis Monument State Historic Site, a few sheds and small buildings were unroofed. Numerous trees were blown down. This first touchdown in Christian County was about 1/8 mile long and 100 yards wide. Peak winds were estimated near 80 MPH. About a mile to the east in Todd County, there was a second brief touchdown of this tornado.
A 1000-pound factory awning was blown off, carried by the wind approximately 70 yards, and landed on top of several vehicles. A few of the vehicles were destroyed.
Flash flooding made several roads in Pembroke impassable, including Mason Lane at Highway 115, Spring Street, and south Main Street. Flood waters were just deep enough to get into two homes on East Nashville Street in Pembroke.
Several trees or tree limbs were blown down. Minor damage occurred to a home, consisting mainly of gutter damage. The tornado track was mostly across fields. The tornado was photographed near the initial touchdown and was also observed less than one mile from Pembroke. Peak winds were estimated near 75 mph.
A damage survey revealed a weak tornado caused a path of intermittent tree damage. Several large tree limbs were blown down, one whole tree was down, and tin was damaged on a couple of barns. Peak winds were estimated near 70 mph. The damage path ended near the junction of Highway 1453 and U.S. Highway 41.
On the west side of Pembroke, a small creek rose out of its banks and came within four inches of entering a home. The residents were evacuated as a precaution. Running floodwaters crossed a main road into town.
On the northwest side of Hopkinsville near Christian County High School, a city street was closed by high water, and an apartment complex was inaccessible. On the southwest side of Hopkinsville, flooding caused a road closure at the intersection of Highway 695 and a city street. Flooding was reported on U.S. Highway 41 near Pembroke.
Persistent thunderstorms produced heavy rain, estimated as much as 1 to 3 inches over the east and southeast sides of the county. Water was over a local road in the eastern part of the county.
