| 14:18Z | EF1 | KPAH | KY | Carlisle | Cunningham | This multi-county tornado first touched down near the intersection of Highways 1820 and 1628 in northeast Carlisle County. Only a very small portion of the track occurred in Carlisle County. The tornado proceeded northeast, passing mostly over undeveloped wetlands along Mayfield Creek. The damage path started with spotty tree damage and minor shingle damage. As the tornado approached the Ballard County line, a wider and more definitive path of snapped and uprooted trees became evident. Peak winds in Carlisle County were estimated near 105 mph as it was entering Ballard County. |
| 14:20Z | EF2 | KPAH | KY | Ballard | Gage | This multi-county tornado crossed extreme southeast Ballard County on its way from Carlisle County to McCracken County. The tornado track passed just northwest and north of the community of Lovelaceville. The two primary structural damage areas were the crossing points along Highway 1837 west of Lovelaceville and Hamburg Road north of Lovelaceville. West of Lovelaceville on Highway 1837, there was major roof damage to a few structures, including a mobile home and a farm outbuilding. A well-defined path of broken and uprooted trees was also evident. As the tornado reached Hamburg Road, the first evidence of EF-2 damage became visible. A large portion of the exterior wall of a house collapsed, and there was significant roof damage to the house. A nearby farm outbuilding was demolished. A swath of snapped and uprooted trees crossed the area. Building debris was deposited well downwind of the damaged or destroyed structures. Four cows were killed. The tornado path widened quickly, reaching 300 yards shortly after exiting Carlisle County. Peak winds in Ballard County were estimated near 115 mph. The tornado then crossed into McCracken County, where the majority of the damage path was located. |
| 14:23Z | EF2 | KPAH | KY | Mccracken | Cammelia | This multi-county tornado entered McCracken County from Ballard County near the community of Lovelaceville. The tornado tracked within a couple of miles either side of U.S. Highway 62 for most of its path in McCracken County. The tornado intermittently reached EF-2 intensity from the Ballard County line to about two miles southeast of Barkley Regional Airport. A total of 25 dwellings were damaged along the path in McCracken County. Five businesses were damaged, and 20 residences were damaged. The damage was categorized as minor for 14 of the residences, major for one, and five were destroyed. Major structural damage included partial loss of roofs or walls. Minor damage to homes included the loss of shingles. Dozens of barns, outbuildings, garages, or grain bins were destroyed. A church, located on U.S. Highway 62 near Highway 305, lost much of the roof structure as well as a large part of a second story exterior wall. This is where the tornado reached its maximum intensity, with estimated peak winds near 125 mph. A total of 40 pre-schoolers were inside a day care facility in the church, but none were directly injured. At least ten vehicles sustained damage in this area near the church. The only injury occurred on U.S. Highway 62 near the church, where a grain bin was blown on top of a pickup truck traveling eastbound. During the final few miles of its track, the tornado weakened as it moved through the western part of the city of Paducah. In the western part of Paducah, the tornado moved across U.S. Highway 60 and the city's main shopping mall. The tornado dissipated shortly after crossing Interstate 24 between exits 3 and 4. The roofs of the shopping mall and a nearby strip mall were damaged. Several businesses in the mall area and along Interstate 24 sustained minor damage, mostly to roofs. Windows were blown out of vehicles and buildings. A moving semi truck was lifted along Interstate 24 and was blown into the median in a jack-knife position. Along the entire track, dozens of utility poles were down, causing extensive power outages for nearly 10,000 customers. Hundreds of trees were snapped or uprooted.
