Grazulis Narrative: Moved northeast across the south part of Hodgenville. The tornado destroyed nine cottages as well as the county fairgrounds. A dozen other homes were unroofed. About forty other homes had minor damage.
Noted discrepancies: SPC, Grazulis, and  Storm Data give a time of 12:05am, NCDC 12:03am. SPC gives a path width of 10 yards, NCDC 30 yards, Grazulis 100 yards, Storm Data 300 yards. Would tend to believe Storm Data's width.
