Survey Summary:

The National Weather Service conducted a storm survey and found a
tornado occurred on Sunday, May 26th, 2024. The tornado started
at Sulphur Creek in southern Cumberland County just to the west
of Celina Road (KY Highway 61). Tree uproot damage was consistent
with EF1 95 mph winds. The tornado then tracked across Celina
Road along Sulphur Creek and did more extensive tree damage in
the hills west of Peytonsburg Sulphur Road consistent with 90 to
95 mph wind speeds. The tornado then went across a campground
along Sulphur Creek road near to Mike s Restaurant and left tree
damage in the campground along with shingle damage to some
cabins. Tree damage continued to the east and hit an RV storage
garage with significant roof loss thrown in different directions
just north of Dale Hollow Lake Golf Course. The tornado then
crossed into Clinton county across Dale Hollow Lake at the Wisdom
Dock location where extensive tree damage was consistent with
EF1 wind speeds between 100 and 105 mph.  Minor shingle damage to
homes was also observed along Wisdom Dock Road. The tornado
continued up route 553 and did more tree damage ending just south

The National Weather Service would like to thank Cumberland
