| 20:29Z | EF1 | KLVX | IN | Jefferson | Kent | The National Weather Service in Louisville conducted a storm damage assessment summary for the March 3rd tornado that hit halfway between Hanover and Lexington, IN. The tornado initially touched down near Ford Road, which is just south of SR-56. Drone video showed trees snapped, twisted, and uprooted and laying in multiple directions. The tornado did the most damage between 9011 to 8904 SR 56. Six outbuildings and older barns were severely damaged or destroyed. A brick home sustained significant roof damage, had windows busted, and TV antenna snapped facing a westerly direction. Most of the damaged trees on the south side of SR 56 were facing from the west northwest to the north. Winds were estimated to be 90-95 mph with a width of 100 yards. ||On the north side of SR 56, a well-built wooden home had several windows blown out, and the house foundation shifted several inches. A SUV had all its windows blown out, and looked like it had been shelled with debris. Several outbuildings were destroyed, throwing debris to the northwest and northerly directions. There was metal sheeting in the trees wrapped around branches and trees. ||A well-built 40 by 60 barn had a large portion of its roof lifted, but its foundation did not move. This caused a plethora of insulation to be thrown in every direction into the wooded area. Several cars were moved by a few feet and mud and insulation were on three sides of the barn. Pieces of this barn were thrown up to 275 yards downwind. A sturdy single wide moved several feet off its foundation, but not a single shingle was missing. Winds were strongest in this area with 100 mph max wind and a width of 100 yards. |
| 22:05Z | EF0 | KILN | OH | Clermont | Nicholsville | This short-lived tornado is believed to have touched down just south of Bethel New Richmond Road.

There were numerous instances of uprooted softwood and hardwood trees, including one large tree that fell on a house. ||The tornado moved to the northeast, damaging additional homes and uprooting more trees on the west wide of Sugartree Road. The tornado then crossed a field and knocked down and snapped numerous hardwood trees just on the east side of Sugartree Road, south of Crane School House Road.||Further to the northeast, significant tree damage and roof damage to a home was found along Crane School House Road. Numerous hardwood trees were uprooted and snapped between Crane School House Road and State Route 125. No additional tornadic damage was observed farther to the northeast, as it is believed the tornado lifted prior to getting as far north as State Route 125. |
| 22:26Z | EF1 | KILN | OH | Highland | Pricetown | The tornado first touched down in a field southwest of Certier Road, about three miles northeast of Buford. This tornado affected a property on Certier Road, causing significant damage to several barns, with winds estimated to 90 mph. From here, the tornado generally moved to the north-northeast.||Tree damage and minor structural damage was noted on Ruble Cemetery Road and Hollowtown Road. More significant damage was noted at a couple of properties on State Route 131. One home had an attached garage that was compromised by the wind and detached from the main structure of the house, mostly flattening the walls of the garage. Significant roof and tree damage was also found at a couple of adjacent properties. Winds here were estimated at 100 mph.||Damage north of State Route 131 was much sparser, with minor tree damage observed on Dawson Road and north of Barr Cemetery Road. A power pole was downed on Sherry Road. Overall, while the tornado did travel through mostly open fields north of State Route 131, it is likely that it weakened or briefly lifted during this time period.||A more concentrated area of damage was then observed near the intersection of Danville/Russell Road and US Route 50. While some tree damage was noted on the west side of Danville/Russell Road, more extensive damage was noted to the east. A church on the south side of US Route 50 was heavily damaged, with the majority of the east side of the roof removed. Just north of the church, an outbuilding was damaged adjacent to a stand of trees that had significant damage and snapping. Winds here were estimated at 100 mph.||Damage was again sparser north from US Route 50 until becoming more significant and widespread in Willettsville. Tree and structural damage in Willettsville was extensive, with roof damage to numerous homes and outbuildings, including one home that had a collapsed attached garage. Winds here were also estimated at 100 mph and likely over a larger area than at other locations earlier in the track of the tornado.||Minor roof and tree damage were observed as the tornado turned slightly to the right, moving northeast. A few properties had roof damage on Panhandle Road west of State Route 73. Some minor tree damage was found near State Route 73 where the tornado is believed to have dissipated. |
| 22:35Z | EF0 | KILN | OH | Highland | Willettville | This short-lived tornado is believed to have touched down near Panhandle Road, just west of Wolfe Road.

A video near this location appeared to show a short-lived tornadic circulation moving approximately southwest to northeast between Climer Lane and the school grounds. Tree damage was a bit more extensive toward the southern parts of the properties on Climer Lane toward the athletic fields. Here, a concession stand suffered minor roof damage and a chain-linked fence was damaged as well.||The tornado is believed to have tracked a bit further to the northeast, damaging a barn/outbuilding structure near the cul-de-sac of Climer Lane before dissipating. |
