May 14, 1995
Counties: Franklin
F-scale: F0
Deaths: 0
Injuries: 0
Path width:
Path length: 4.5 miles (skipping)
Time: 2:00am
Notes: Though local news accounts reported "heavy damage in western Franklin County," the first specific point of damage this project has been able to find so far has been at the Capital City Airport, so will begin the track there. The tornado skipped eastward, damaging the Juniper Hills Golf Course and blowing the roof off of the Kentucky Teachers' Retirement System building on Versailles Road. It is interesting to note that if a line is drawn connecting those three damage points, the Capitol and the Governor's Mansion were in the direct path of this tornado, and the funnel cloud associated with the tornado may have gone directly over those two landmarks.
Noted discrepancies: NCDC and Storm Data give no F-scale ranking for this tornado.
