At least 100 trees were blown down along with a barn in the 2400 block of Headquarters Road.

Wider weather episode

During this period, upper high pressure remained over the southern United States. At the surface, a couple of cold fronts, riding along upper flow, passed from west to east near the Ohio River. These fronts, along with outflow boundaries from previous storms, helped thunderstorms in central Kentucky to form, which resulted in wind damage and some isolated flooding.
