EF-1 rated tornado caused significant damage at Moors Resort on Kentucky Lake

GILBERTSVILLE, Ky. (WTVQ) – The National Weather Service has determined an EF-1 tornado blew through the Kentucky Lake area.

Survey teams confirmed the tornado by spending most of Monday morning at the marina.

According to the NWS, an EF-1 tornado with maximum estimated winds of 100 mph damaged part of a marina at Moors Resort on Kentucky Lake in Marshall County, KY.

A 50 yard section of marina, one of three sections that extended into Kentucky Lake, was twisted and overturned by the tornado.

A boat that was docked in this part of the marina was lifted onto the overturned marina section. The entire marina structure was shifted several feet and pulled away from the shore, dislodging several spud poles that anchored the floating marina structure to the lake bottom.

Across the rest of Marshall County, scattered straight-line damage included broken large tree limbs and uprooted trees.

The Marshall County Emergency Management Agency praised the response by emergency responders for their quick action.
