Many trees and power lines were blown down around this area and across the western portion of the county. As the "bow echo" approached Louisville two homes sustained roof damage and more trees were blown down. Areas in and around Louisville were particularly hard hit. Nearly a dozen homes and businesses sustained significant roof damage with the funeral home having the roof totally removed. Nearly six other homes sustained minor roof damage. Dozens of trees, along with several power lines, were blown down around town.
