Narrative: This unusual January tornado touched down southwest of Shively and moved east-northeast. The tornado lifted near Anchorage after cutting a narrow path through the south suburbs of Louisville. About a hundred homes were unroofed or damaged. The first damage was to a farm on Lower Hunters Trace Road. The tornado quickly strengthened and caused quite a bit of damage in Saint Helens, just southwest of Shively. Damage was reported at Rockford Station (Rockford Lane and 18th Street Road -- now Dixie Highway). On Stewart Avenue a house lost its roof. The tornado then weakened or possibly lifted as it passed through or over Jacobs, where little damage occurred. The tornado then touched back down or strengthened as it entered Wyandotte-Oakdale. Damage was widespread along Dresden and Longfield Avenues, with damage on Longfield reported at the addresses of 812, 713, 716, and at 715 the house was "twisted." A house lost its roof at 570 Dresden Avenue, with additional damage at 550 and 552 Dresden. The tornado proceeded to the northeast across the southeastern section of Churchill Downs -- click here to see a map of how close the tornado came to the twin spires (the path of the tornado is outlined by the thick white lines). The tornado's worst damage then occurred in the 3800 block of Southern Parkway, with walls blown out of homes at the addresses of 3833, 3831, 3855, 3844, 3848, and 3850. Three brick houses were completely wrecked. The last significant damage occurred on High Street near Boxley Avenue where a house was unroofed and several cottages were damaged. Damage between this location (just east of Cardinal Stadium) and Anchorage was very light and spotty. J. L. Kendall and Grady Norton, meteorologists with the Weather Bureau, surveyed that damage and called the event, "a true tornado."

At this location a heavy metal chain fence weighing several hundred pounds was picked up and thrown 30 yards into the back of the house causing significant damage. A chicken house weighing hundreds of pounds was rolled over and moved several feet. A purple martin house was bent over 60 degrees facing east. Shingles and yard decorations were thrown in various directions east of the house along with driveway gravel thrown in every direction. A swing set was thrown from the back of the house to the front. Throughout the property there were twisted and uprooted trees. Just before crossing the highway, the tornado increased from 75 yards to 140 yards and picked up hundreds of cornstalks tossing them in various directions across the road up to 300 yards away. Across the street at 7768 IN 337 there was significant cedar tree damage along with a 30 by 40 foot barn that was destroyed. The tornado twisted and snapped several cedar trees before going across the farmers field. The tornado narrowed and went to about 50 yards in width.
