Monday morning, homeowners in Hardin County began assessing the damage done by Sunday night’s storms.
Hardin County Emergency Management Director Joey Scott said several homes were damaged, mainly in the Franklin Crossroads community near Cecilia. Two homes on Basham Lane had extensive damage with the roofs blown off, as well as, downed trees and power lines.
After surveying the damage, the National Weather Service of Louisville confirmed a “preliminary EF-2 tornado” touched down, with estimated 115 miles per hour winds.
Monday, officials with the National Weather Service pointed to the flattening patterns of the nearby corn fields and the odd directions in which debris was thrown as signs of a tornado.
Hardin County Emergency Management said they haven’t received any reports of injuries from the storm.
Hardin County officials said there is also damage in Elizabethtown and Valley Creek area.
