0920 AM Tornado 5 SSW Paris 38.15N 84.30W
04/02/2024 Bourbon KY NWS Storm Survey
NWS storm survey found damage consistent
with EF1 tornado damage 105 mph peak winds.
The tornado lasted 15 minutes, was 13.44
miles long and 100 yards wide. This fairly
long tornado, for a squall line, started off
as a trio of funnels that merged into one
tornado at touchdown, per eyewitness
accounts on a farm off Bethlehem Rd.
Multiple structures on the farm had damage.
The tornado continued east southeast thru
rural parts of southern Bourbon county with
few roads to gain good access to damage, but
there were some trees down in Sidville and
south of Escondida. The most extensive and
widespread damage occurred at Hidden Rose
Farm. A lot of people had gathered to fix
the damage, but evidence of the tornado
still was clear. An open arena structure
almost totally collapsed, with one wall
standing. Another downstream stable had roof
damage including a 4x6 wood beam that was
lodged in the metal roof, though that roof
was fixed by the time of the survey.
Multiple trailers were flipped as well. 2
horses were taken to the animal hospital and
4 others had lacerations. The tornado
continued southeast to a large property off
the 6700 block of Paris Rd, in far north
Clark County. The home had several older
healthy trees near the home downed as well
as a barn demolished. A very old stone cabin
downwind of the home escaped damage, likely
because of the upstream trees and the home
structure. Some additional tree damage
occurred along Pretty Run Rd. The tornado
last caused damage to a large new barn in
Wades Mill area before lifting.
0928 AM Tornado 5 SW North Middletown 38.09N 84.18W
04/02/2024 Clark KY NWS Storm Survey

04/02/2024 Clark KY NWS Storm Survey
The NWS conducted a survey and found damage
consistent with an EF1 tornado with max
winds of 104 mph. The tornado lasted 3
minutes, was 1.94 miles long and 150 yards
wide. Tornado damage appeared to have
started to a barn and some trees across a
field from each other west of Combs Ferry
Rd. The tornado continued southeast towards
a residence. Trees were downed here with
some outbuildings roofs damaged. Residents
of one home said a set of 2nd story windows
popped out and fell to the ground. Another
nearby resident said all the interior doors
of their home opened up as the tornado
passed by. A security camera video showed a
white intense area of rainfall moving across
the property in an area where a row of trees
ended up getting snapped. The tornado
continued east southeastward toward a home
near the intersection of Jones Nursery Rd
and Combs Ferry Rd. The resident was in a
nearby attached garage when it went through.
He witnessed the rains going in one
direction before the tornado hit and then
switch quickly to a different direction
behind it. One section of the main homes
roof was completely taken off and thrown
east southeast. The wind hit the west facing
garage doors flush, causing both doors to
buckle but not collapse. The brick work in
between the doors was buckled as well. No
further damage was noted southeast of this
property, so the tornado appeared to have
lifted by this point. There were several
trees downed on the south side of the
tornado, likely with strong inflow winds.
Jones Nursery Rd had trees down all along
the road, but most of the damage had been
cleaned up before the survey occurred.
