A cold front set off a line of severe thunderstorms during the predawn hours of November 6. One of the thunderstorms spawned an F2 tornado that struck downtown Munfordville in Hart County. The tornado caused major damage to 44 homes and two businesses. Twenty-five homes were declared uninhabitable. Six businesses and 34 homes had minor damage. Munfordville Elementary School had part of the roof removed by the tornado. About 50 vehicles in a car dealership lot were totaled.
Evidence of two brief tornado touchdowns was found embedded in a widespread area of straight line wind damage. The first tornado touchdown was in the Rowlette Street area, and the second was just outside Munfordville on Highway 357. The wind damage event then continued northeast out of town toward Glen Lily. Buildings in a three square block area in downtown Munfordville were damaged, including the Munfordville court house.
The Green River at Munfordville crested at 30.5 feet around 1245 PM CST on April 5. Flood stage at the site is 28 feet. Minor flooding occurs at this level, with the city park flooded under the U.S. Highway 31W bridge.
