EF-1 Tornado Paoli IN

Good morning...last night's storms were quite strong in places, even producing a tornado in Paoli IN, according to preliminary indications from the NWS survey team. Here is their summation so far...

EF1 Tornado in Paoli

A National Weather Service Storm Survey Team has determined that an EF1 tornado struck downtown Paoli on Monday evening.  The team is still evaluating the damage, but preliminary indications are that the tornado had a path length of roughly two miles, and a width of about 100 yards (with straight-line wind damage for about a mile either side of the tornado track).  Wind speeds were probably around 95 mph.

No strong storms anticipated in the region today; however, widespread rains will produce another inch or two across the Louisville area. Then, a decent shot of cold air will infiltrate the area but only for a short time.
