The Casey County tornado measured F2 in intensity (the scale runs from F0 to F5). The tornado, which destroyed at least two mobile homes when it touched down at 2:30 p.m. Friday, had winds that reached 118 mph.
The tornado in Breckinridge County had winds of about 85mph and was classified as F0 in intensity, said Foster.
