At about 3:38pm EST on Friday, March 2, 2012, a tornado touched down about 4.5 miles South/Southwest Hawesville, KY. The tornado continued on a path generally toward the East/Northeast for approximately 17.4 miles before lifting about 9.5 miles East of Cloverport at 3:53pm EST:
Thus far I have not been able to locate any photos or videos of the damage. The National Weather Service (NWS) survey indicates that the EF-2 damage took place on New Bethel Cloverport Road where 2 structures were destroyed. Otherwise, damage was mostly confined to trees, outbuildings, siding and some peeling off of roof shingles along the tornado's path.
Additional EF-2 damage took place toward the end of the tornado's path, with a 200 yard long chicken coop destroyed near Silas Miller Road. Hundreds of chickens were lost or killed at that location.
