High-end EF2 tornado touched down 4.5 miles (7.2 km) northwest of Adairville along Kentucky Route 96 and either damaged or destroyed several outbuildings and caused extensive roof and siding damage to a house. The tornado continued generally eastward, then turned east-southeast and destroyed a barn that was full of square-bale hay. The tornado then crossed U.S. Highway 431, blowing over crops and a road sign. It continued northeast of Adairville, where a very small structure was flattened, a few vehicles were damaged, many barns and outbuildings were either damaged or destroyed, and a few homes suffered extensive damage in the vicinity of Kentucky Route 663, as the tornado was at its widest and strongest at this point. As the tornado continued eastward, some minor ground scouring was observed, another shed/outbuilding was heavily damaged, a barn with farm equipment inside was destroyed, and a couple older trailers were damaged. Just east of this location, more outbuildings and other structures, including a few grain silos, were either heavily damaged or destroyed. At a few other farms to the east, numerous sheds/outbuildings were either damaged or destroyed, including one in which the roof and walls collapsed, a few houses were damaged (some heavily), and a few more silos were heavily damaged. Roofing material from some of the structures appears to have remained intact and was thrown eastward. A steel pole was downed in the area as well. The tornado moved east-southeast into Simpson County, where it quickly damaged a few farm buildings. It then moved through rural western parts of the county, causing minor damage to a shed and a barn. The tornado then became very narrow, flattened more crops, and removed a nearby mailbox from the pole. A barn just southeast of this location suffered minor roof damage with the tornado lifting in that general area, about 5 miles (8.0 km) west-southwest of Franklin. The damage in Simpson County was weaker than that in Logan County, with only EF1 damage noted in a few places. In all, five homes sustained extensive damage and two others had minor damage, and five grain silos were blown away, with some being blown over 0.25 miles (400 m), and two others collapsed. Many outbuildings were either damaged or destroyed, hundreds of trees were downed, and many crop fields were flattened. Four people were injured.
