Friday afternoon and evening a strong line of storms drove through southern Illinois and Kentucky. No severe weather locally, but in Richmond, Kentucky an EF3 tornado touched down. A lot of damage occurred in the area. Take a look at the house above on the left. The brick was ripped off of the house. Also note the RV that was picked up and dropped on top of the house!
There were two deaths associated with the storm. Here's report from the NWS in Louisville, Kentucky about the events surrounding the deaths. TWO ADULTS WERE KILLED WHEN THE MOBILE HOME THEY WERE IN WAS PICKED UP AND THROWN BY THE TORNADO. THE BODIES OF A 35 YEAR OLD MALE AND A 42 YEAR OLD FEMALE WERE RECOVERED FROM A NEARBY POND. FOUR OTHER OCCUPANTS OF THE MOBILE HOME...INCLUDING THREE CHILDREN ...WERE INJURED.
