A potent cold front combined with elevated wind energy crossing the region allowed a widespread area of showers and thunderstorms to develop late Sunday night through early Monday morning. Some wind damage and minor flooding occurred, along with two EF1 tornadoes.

The National Weather Service in Louisville, Kentucky conducted a storm survey in Scott County, Kentucky of storm damage that occurred early Monday morning.
The survey team determined that a tornado touched down just southwest of the Parkers Mobile Home Park in Stamping Ground. The initial touchdown was in a wooden fenced area with uprooted trees and significant damage to the wooden fence. Wind speeds were estimated to be between 80 and 85 mph initially.
The tornado increased in speed and diameter, striking the mobile home park causing
significant damage. Trailers were lifted off their foundation, some trailers were flipped
over and or turned in a different direction. Insulation and metal siding from the trailers
were thrown up into the trees. Deck pieces were thrown and impaled into the ground, trees were twisted and snapped, and numerous air conditioner units were thrown several feet. The tornado increased to around 95 mph with a width of 60 yards.
The most obvious signs of a tornado were outbuildings were picked up and thrown upwind, with insulation on both sides of the buildings.
The damage direction from the trees, and insulation from mobile homes ranged north to southeasterly.
The tornado became more of a skipping tornado as it moved to the east with the last damage being some power poles and trees at the corner of Edgewood Way and 227.
Just east of Stamping Ground, the survey team found a significant area of straight line winds along Duvall Station Road. A third of a mile swath of concentrated wind damage occurred 2 miles east of Stamping Ground.
It started out in a grove of trees with large branches and trees knocked down all facing from the southwesterly to the east northeast direction. Wind speeds were estimated initially to be 65 to 70 mph. A well constructed barn had its roof panels ripped off and doors blown in. Metal sheeting from the barn was thrown up to 500 yards down wind. Two other barns on the other side of the road had similar damage. Shingles from two family homes were thrown a hundred yards. Wind speeds from the well constructed barn, were determined to be 80 mph. The damage area was about a quarter mile by a third of a mile.
The National Weather Service would like to thank Scott county emergency manager Mike Hennigan for his assistance with the survey.

The National Weather Service conducted a storm damage survey in Franklin County from storms that occurred early Monday morning.
The survey team determined that a tornado touched down on the 1100 block of Manley Leestown Road, about two miles north of Frankfort. Drone imagery showed a well built 40 by 60 foot barn had significant roof damage and the south wall blown out.
The skipping tornado then went through a large grove of trees. Dozens of trees were twisted and uprooted, ranging from cedar to maple to Osage orange trees. About a dozen cedar trees were twisted and laying in multiple directions.
The tornado then hit a well-built two-story house on the 100 block of Shadrick Ferry Road. The southwest side of the house had significant damage and that portion of the roof fell to the north northeasterly direction. Insulation from the house went from the north all the way to a southwesterly direction. A doorbell camera showed the distinct tornado with debris being thrown in all directions around 411 AM EST.
The tornado appeared to lift briefly before touching down on the 6000 block of Owenton Road. A brand new, well constructed 30 by 50 barn took significant damage to the roof. Both garage doors were blown in with tool chests and many heavier items being scattered about the garage. Throughout the entire barn the thick concrete foundation was shifted about an inch. Immediately next to the barn, there was a one story family residence that had no damage whatsoever.
Large sections of roof were thrown 60 yards into the neighbors trees and yard. The tornado lifted at this point. The winds were consistently between 85 and 90 mph along this narrow path, and the width was between 40 and 50 yards.
The National Weather Service would like to thank Franklin County Emergency Management Deputy Ray Kinney for his assistance with the survey.
