Counties:  Logan, Warren, Allen, Barren
F-scale:  F3
Deaths:  2
Injuries:  9
Path width:
Path length:  58 miles
Time:  2:35pm
Notes:  After researching this tornado (see discrepancies below), including reviewing radar data, it appears this tornado touched down at Chandlers Chapel in northeast Logan County, moving through Warren County crossing I-65 about seven and a half miles south of Bowling Green, continuing eastward into northernmost Allen County passing just north of Meador, then turning to the northeast near Finny, Haywood, three miles south of Glasgow, and ending at the Metcalfe County line near where the parkway crosses the border.  The worst damage was in Barren County.  Homes on Needmore School Road southwest of Haywood were extensively damaged, and a mobile home was flipped over near the intersection of Riddle Road and KY 249.  In Glasgow one person was killed in his mobile home and another was killed by flying debris.  In the Glasgow area one house was destroyed (F3 damage) and 45 badly damaged.  Winds estimated at 175mph near Glasgow damaged or destroyed 35 mobile homes and 25 barns. 
Noted discrepancies:  SPC mistakenly replaces Warren County with Lawrence County.  SPC gives a beginning latitude of 36.92...NCDC gives 36.95.  SPC gives a path width of 100 yards, NCDC gives 200 yards.  The lat/lons given for this event are all over the place.  Going by the beginning lat/lon in Logan County and the ending lat/lon in Barren County, the track would go through the south side of Glasgow and would end at the Barren/Metcalfe county line, which agrees with the narrative given at NCDC.  However, this path would completely miss Allen County.  Storm Data has it in Logan County (Chandlers Chapel to six miles east of Chandlers Chapel), Warren County (ten miles southwest of Bowling Green to sixteen miles southeast of Bowling Green), Allen County (three miles west of Meador to two miles east of Meador), and Barren County (fourteen miles southwest of Glasgow to ten miles east of Glasgow, with Glasgow hard hit).

On the family's cemetery, several tombstones were knocked over and one headstone was destroyed. There were several outbuildings and two pole barns destroyed as well. The second home experienced significant foundation damage and the roof was completely removed. A pick-up truck was thrown 250 yards into a field. Insulation from the home was found 300 yards away. The debris field from the two homes extended into a farmer's field up to a quarter mile downwind with several boards and bricks thrust into the ground. The tornado continued through several fields doing extensive tree and fence damage. Power lines were torn down. The tornado destroyed two barns at 901 Dot Road, where it also moved heavy farm equipment, blew out exterior walls, and destroyed the home's roof. Falling debris at this location struck and killed a resident. The family dog was found alive under piles of rubble. Debris was thrown 500 yards away. The tornado then hit a large farm at 3604 Schley Road destroying the second story of the home. The family was out to eat at the time, but had they been home the children would have been napping at the time the tornado struck. Three empty silos were destroyed with metal sheets thrown a quarter of a mile. The tornado continued along through fields, damaging and uprooting trees. At the intersection of Mortimer Station Road and Marriah Church Road trees were snapped and several homes experienced shingle, siding, and roof damage.
