Some Tornado information put out by LMK.

Storm Survey Information from March 2nd Storms

...Preliminary survey results from Southern Indiana and Trimble County in Kentucky...

Narrative: These are the preliminary results of multiple storm survey teams that investigated the tornado damage caused over southern Indiana and into Trimble county in Kentucky. Complicating the assessment was the fact that two separate supercell thunderstorms tracked over the area, each producing a tornado along their path. Between the towns of New Pekin and Henryville, the storms followed essentially the same path, separated by approximately 10 minutes. The first storm was the more powerful of the two, producing the EF-4 damage to homes and a large junior-senior high school in Henryville. Further EF-4 damage was found near Chelsea in Jefferson county Indiana. Near Pekin in Indiana EF-3 and EF-4 damage was found. In Trimble county south of Milton two tornados, one rated EF-2 and another EF-3 caused damage.

Again, these findings are preliminary and are complicated by the long distance involved. More details will follow, including path length, width, and timing information as well as even EF-rating, after additional storm survey teams are dispatched and as storm damage pictures are more thoroughly assessed.

Incredible. There is barely anything left! Looks like that was an all brick house too!

You still have trees standing just behind the house...!

IF there's no design/structural flaw in that house then you are probably getting into high end EF4 territory with that kind of damage. Sometimes looks can be deceiving so it's hard to be definitive without knowing more details.

House before and after

There were three people in this house when it was hit - a mother and her two children. She wrapped her kids up in blankets and laid on top of them. She ended up having to have both legs amputated due to them being crushed. Both kids were not injured.
