Kentucky Tornado
April 25, 1932
KENTUCKY STRUCK
Many Areas In South Damaged But
Destruction Light: Near Tornado In Kentucky
Bowling Green, Ky., April 25. (AP)- A
windstorm that approached proportions of a
tornado, accompanied by severe lightning,
torrential rains and hail, swept through a half
dozen or more southern Kentucky counties early
today.
One man was injured in Warren county, another
was shocked by lightning in Adair county and
heavy damage was caused.
Roof and chimneys were blown off buildings in
a wide area and power and light lines were
crippled and several towns including Scottsville
and Greensburg were in the darkness for several
hours.
Industrial plants at Scottsville were closed
for lack of power. Many tobacco beds were ruined
by the heavy rains and Green river and its
tributaries rose rapidly.
