Survey Summary:
A storm damage team surveyed tornado damage in Harrison County
Kentucky near Berry and Antioch from the storms on April 3rd,
2025. Damage was first observed to a farm along Kentucky Highway
36 West near Casey Mill Road where a barn had some damage to the
doors, roof and siding. The tornado continued along Casey Mill
Road where a travel trailer was rolled upside down, but remained
intact, and a residence had roof damage to one side of the home.
Evidence of a tornadic circulation was noted here with boards
impaled into the back side of the home from where the roof was
torn off. The only possible explanation for this would be
rotation, or if the boards came from a structure upstream.

The storm continued near Berry where several trees were uprooted.
The storm continued across Eureka and Petty Roads where a camper
was flipped and a barn was leaning to one side after the wind
occurred. Just to the west of US Highway 27, and south of Antioch,
a barn was leveled from the tornado. The maximum wind along the
path of this tornado was between 95 and 100 mph.

The National Weather Service Louisville would like to thank
Harrison County Emergency Management for their assistance and
residents who provided information, photos, and security video of
the tornado.
