Survey Summary:

A substantial downburst of wind hit the northwestern portion of
Franklin, KY. Damage consisted of hundreds of trees down, and
unfortunately some fell on several residences. There were also
many branches down, and some power poles broken or leaning due to
either trees falling on the power lines or the wind itself. In
terms of structural damage, no damage from the wind directly was
found only from the trees falling. All trees were blown to the
south or southeast.

The National Weather Service Louisville would like to thank the
National Weather Service Nashville for their outstanding efforts
in providing mutual aid by surveying after a large severe weather
event. National Weather Service Louisville would also like to
thank Simpson County Emergency Management for their partnership
and assistance on this survey.
