After the National Weather Service went to look at the storm damage they confirmed that there were 70 tornadoes during this outbreak. The maximum rated tornado was an EF 4. There were two that occurred during this outbreak. The first of the two occurred in Southern Indiana near New Pekin, Indiana. This EF 4 traveled almost 50 miles from New Pekin through Bradford, Kentucky, which in the very northern part of Kentucky. This tornado alone claimed 11 lives. This tornado is referred to locals as the Henryville tornado. I actually have a couple of friends that live down in that area and they said the devastation was terrible.
