Grazulis narrative:  Moved northeast from three miles north of Scottsburg.  Several homes and barns were damaged or destroyed.
Noted discrepancies:  SPC and NCDC rank this as an F2, Grazulis calls it an F3.  SPC/NCDC begin the tornado west of Scottsburg...Grazulis starts it north of Scottsburg.  SPC/NCDC stop the tornado where Grazulis starts it (Grazulis then moves it northeast for 5 miles).  Storm Data says the tornado moved northeast and crossed I-65 three miles north of Scottsburg.
