It was an EF1 tornado that caused damage during severe weather Monday night near Crofton.
The twister that touched down just south of Crofton had maximum winds of 90 mph, according to National Weather Service in Paducah Warning Coordination Meteorologist Rick Shanklin, who came to Christian County Tuesday afternoon for a damage survey. It touched down about 1.3 miles southwest of Crofton and went back into the clouds about 5 miles southwest of Crofton.
The twister had a maximum width of 400 yards and its path was five and a half miles long.
At least four farm structures were damaged or destroyed, in addition to a carport and a garage. One home had six windows shattered or blown out and other homes had siding damage.
There also several uprooted trees in the twister’s path.
There were no injuries reported locally.
Tennessee was hit the hardest by the severe weather, with the death toll now at 24 in the Volunteer State. East Nashville, Mt. Juliet and the Cookeville area were hit the hardest and President Trump has said he will visit the devastation on Friday. The National Weather Service has determined most of that damage was caused by an EF3 tornado.
