Survey Summary:
The National Weather Service conducted a storm survey in
Breckinridge County, near the communities of Hardinsburg and
Harned, and determined an EF-1 tornado with maximum winds of 100
mph occurred the evening of March 30th, 2025. The tornado had a
path length of 2.55 miles and a width of 30 yards.

The first damage that was observed was along Butler Hobbs Road
where a barn had roof panels lifted off for most of the south
facing side of the building. The tornado continued along Butler
Hobbs Road where several trees had large branch damage. The
tornado then crossed Ephesus Church Road where another barn had
roof panel loss. The most significant damage occurred along US
Highway 60 near Harned where several barn buildings had
significant roof damage on the east and southeast side of the
building, which was the direction that the tornado approached. A
barn and garage outbuilding were completely destroyed with
estimated max wind speeds of 100 mph. A nearby residence also had
wind damage, but there was clear evidence that the tornado was
loosing strength with winds at this location near 80 mph. After
crossing US Highway 60, there was no additional observable damage
from this tornado.

The National Weather Service would like to thank Breckinridge
County Emergency Management for their assistance with providing
locations of damage, and to the helpful homeowners who gave their
accounts of the tornado and provided access to their properties.
