Another in a series of cold fronts brought severe thunderstorms to Kentucky. Most of wind damage that occurred was in the form of downed trees and power lines. Several people were injured, however, when the vehicles or outbuildings they occupied were struck by falling trees or large limbs. A few barns were damaged or destroyed, including one in Bourbon County occupied by four thoroughbred horses. The horses were rescued, and had sustained only minor injuries.
