19:00Z EF0 KOHX KY Cumberland Dubre A National Weather Service storm survey team determined that a brief EF0 tornado|touched down on the afternoon of July 9. The tornado touched down|about a half mile north-northwest of the Highway 90 and Ferris Fork Road|intersection where two large trees were downed, facing back|to the southeast. Just downstream of that, a residence was hit and this|is where the tornado quickly reached its widest point and|strongest winds. Here, several hardwood and softwood trees had|large limbs broken or were uprooted. Ground and aerial survey|with a drone both confirmed that trees were laying in multiple|directions, including in opposite directions of storm motion.|There was very little structural damage, an indication that the|tornado was struggling to keep in contact with the ground, and|likely a contributing factor to the relative weakness of the|tornado. Peak winds here were 80 to 85 MPH. ||The tornadic circulation continued in a generally northerly direction for |the next three quarters of a mile, hugging the west side of Cedar |Ridge, and just to the east of Ferris Fork Road. At this point, the tornado crossed into extreme southeastern Metcalfe County, where it remained on the ground for about one-half mile before lifting.
19:00Z EF0 KOHX KY Metcalfe Willow Shade The tornadic circulation continued from Cumberland County into Metcalfe County, hugging the west side of Cedar Ridge just to the east of Ferris Creek Road and Earl Hurt Road. The tornado lifted about 1.9 miles north-northeast of Dubre at a residence |along Earl Hurt Road after uprooting several more trees that were|oriented in multiple directions. A drone was flown along the|western edge of the ridge line between the initial residence that|was impacted and the lifting point, and very little limb damage|was noted. It is likely that there was some terrain interaction|along the western edge of Cedar Ridge that helped with the|circulation. Overall, the EF0 tornado was on the ground for just|under 1 mile with a maximum path width of 200 yards. There was|additional straight-line wind damage consistent with 70 to 80 mph|winds that was noted right on Ferris Fork and Ferris Creek Roads|that all had east-northeasterly orientation and appears to be inflow into the|main tornadic circulation just a couple hundred yards to the east.
19:06Z EFU KHDX NM Lincoln Ruidoso The Ruidoso emergency manager forwarded a video of a landspout in the Upper Canyon area. The time, length and width of landspout estimated based on derived radar products and video footage.
20:26Z EF1 KVWX KY Union Grove Center A long track cell produced its first tornado in Southwestern Union County on the afternoon of July 9th as an EF-1. The tornado touched down near the KY-270 and KY-492 intersection, then lifted just northeast of Grove Center. Minor to moderate roof damage to two homes occurred near Grove Center. Several large trees were uprooted and snapped along the path. Crops were severely damaged in the path of the tornado with large sections of corn flattened. Estimated peak winds with this tornado were 105 mph.
20:40Z EF1 KVWX KY Union Hamner A long track cell produced its second tornado in Union County on the afternoon of July 9th as an EF-1. The tornado began along KY-56W, then moved north to the River View Coal Mine. Along the path, several large trees were uprooted and snapped with significant damage to crops. The most clustered area of snapped trees was along KY-360 just west of Uniontown. The tornado lifted over the Ohio River. Estimated peak winds with this tornado were 100 mph.
21:18Z EF3 KVWX IN Posey Mt Vernon Arpt The long track cell entering from Northwest Kentucky produced its first Southwest Indiana tornado on the afternoon of July 9th with an EF-3 tornado. Tree debris and crops flattened in a convergent pattern occurred north of Port Rd, just south of the Kenco facility. The tornado intensified quickly with the Kenco facility the EF-3 damage point, undergoing removal of roughly half the roof and the collapse of several large segments of outer walls. The tornado continued northward, overturning semi trailers and train cars near Old Hwy 62. A manufactured home had its roof blown off and walls collapse near Seibert Ln. Damage to roofs of homes and farm buildings occurred on Nation Rd just west of Breeze Rd. Primarily tree damage occurred for the remainder of the path, while a shed door was pushed in on Copperline Rd. The tornado lifted north of Johnson Rd. Peak estimated winds for this tornado were 140 mph.
21:32Z EF1 KVWX IN Posey Springfield The long track cell produced its second Southwest Indiana tornado on the afternoon of July 9th with an EF-1 tornado that began just east of Springfield. A power pole was bent on Oliver Springfield Rd. The tornado tracked to the NNW, damaging a tree grove on Old Beech Creek. Additional tree damage occurred along Old Beech Rd and Lynn Harmony Township Rd with the tornado lifting before reaching Shakerag Rd. Peak estimated winds with this tornado were 105 mph.
21:37Z EF1 KVWX IN Gibson Buckskin A brief EF-1 tornado associated with the remnants of Hurricane Beryl occurred in eastern Gibson County, Indiana, during the afternoon of Tuesday, July 9, 2024. The most significant damage occurred near the intersection of County Rd 575 East and County Rd 500 East. Here, a detached garage was destroyed, and a single family residence had about half its roof removed. Additionally, two wooden power poles were leaning. The rest of the damage caused by the tornado was damaging crops in nearby agricultural fields. Peak width of the tornado was estimated from images and video. Peak estimated winds with this tornado were 105 mph. NWS Paducah would like to thank the Gibson County Emergency Management Agency for their assistance with this damage survey.
21:51Z EF0 KVWX IN Posey Poseyville The long track cell produced its third Southwest Indiana tornado on the afternoon of July 9th with an EF-2 tornado (peak of EF-0 in Posey County) that began on the north side of Poseyville, just south of I-64. Primarily crop and small branch damage occurred initially as the tornado tracked northeastward with corn fields flattened. As it approached the Gibson County line the tornado shifted to a more northward trajectory, continuing into Gibson County. Estimated peak winds with the Posey County portion of the tornado were 75 mph.
21:56Z EF2 KVWX IN Gibson Mounts The third Southwest Indiana tornado on the afternoon of July 9th crossed into southern Gibson County from Posey County at W 1050 S. The tornado progressed northward and strengthened, breaking a power pole at W 925 S and removing the roof from an outbuilding along S 1075 W. A barn collapsed on W 850 S. The damage field broadened with the collapse of multiple farm buildings and a manufactured home where W 800 S meets S 1050 W. More damage occurred to the north with some portions of roads inaccessible. An outbuilding collapsed near a damaged roof on a home along IN-165. The tornado passed approximately 1.75 miles west of the KVWX radar outside Owensville. Roads were blocked off along IN-165 on the west side of Johnson due to additional damage. The tornado lifted after damaging crops and multiple outbuildings north of Johnson. Estimated peak winds for the Gibson County portion of the tornado, and the tornado as a whole, were 120 mph.
22:50Z EF1 KVWX IN Gibson Patoka A brief EF-1 tornado struck the west side of Patoka on the afternoon of July 9th. A power pole was leaning on W 350 N with tree limb and crop damage. The tornado tracked northward producing more tree limb damage before dissipating near W 450 N. Estimated peak winds with this tornado were 100 mph.
23:21Z EF0 KVWX IN Martin Dover Hill The tornado was spawned along Dover Hill Road, about 500 feet northeast of the intersection with Rama Dye Road, where large tree limbs and small trees were downed in multiple directions. The tornado skipped while tracking from southeast to northwest for almost 2 miles, with further small trees and tree limbs downed at Killion Mill Road about 0.4 miles east of the intersection with Crane Road, near Lark Ranch. Eyewitness accounts, photos, and Doppler radar data indicated a weak tornado in both areas. Only tree damage was reported.
