The damage in Graves County appears to have been a surge in straight line wind damage embedded in a broader area of winds at 50 to 60 mph. The damage in Trigg County appears to have been a more localized microburst embedded within a weaker (but intensifying) thunderstorm that went on to produce straight line wind damage in Christian County. The damage in Calloway County appears to have been from a weak tornado that tracked for less than a mile between Lynn Grove and Murray in western Calloway County. .Jones Sparkman Rd Calloway Co... Rating: EF0 Estimated Peak Wind: 85 mph Path Length /statute/: 0.86 miles Path Width /maximum/: 85 yards Fatalities: 0 Injuries: 0 Start Date: 03/07/2026 Start Time: 11:24 AM CDT Start Location: 3 NNE Harris Grove / Calloway County / KY Start Lat/Lon: 36.62 / -88.4061 End Date: 03/07/2026 End Time: 11:25 AM CDT End Location: 4 NNE Harris Grove / Calloway County / KY End Lat/Lon: 36.6156 / -88.3918 Survey Summary: A very brief tornado began producing minor limb and tree damage before crossing Jones Sparkman Rd west of Murray where it significantly damaged a fairly wide swath of vinyl fence. Wooden stakes holding the fence were pulled from the ground and a gate was thrown upstream from the storm path. A tree was uprooted convergently into the storm path near the fence location. A large goat shed was tossed just downstream of the fence location. The tornado path appeared to end about 8/10ths of a mile from its origin where it removed shingles from a home. A small/brief TDS was apparent on radar at the time of the event. && .Graves Co, KY... Location: 3 Miles southeast of Wingo, KY Time: 9:59 am Sat March 7th, 2026 Event: Thunderstorm Wind Damage Wind Speed: 74 mph Survey Summary: Roof and side damage to farm equipment and two chicken houses. About a mile down the road a tobacco barn sustained roof damage. There were scattered small limbs throughout the area consistent with 40-60 mph winds over a broad area. Metal from the buildings was scattered divergently away from the buildings as they were carried northeast by the storm. .Trigg Co.,KY... Location: Eastern Cadiz, KY Time: 10:58 am Sat March 7th, 2026 Event: Thunderstorm Wind Damage Wind Speed: 80 mph Survey Summary: Damage was scattered divergently from near Arthur Wallace and Sanders Drive in Cadiz. The roof of a metal building was removed. A commercial sign was destroyed and a trampoline was destroyed. Across Highway 68 a church and a home lost shingles and a metal gazebo lost portions of it's metal roof. All damage was laid in the same general pattern divergently from the point of origin giving the appearance of a small microburst. EF Scale: The Enhanced Fujita Scale classifies tornadoes into the following categories: EF0.....65 to 85 mph EF1.....86 to 110 mph EF2.....111 to 135 mph EF3.....136 to 165 mph EF4.....166 to 200 mph EF5.....>200 mph NOTE: The information in this statement is preliminary and subject to change pending final review of the event and publication in NWS Storm Data. $$ JGG/SP
