LOUISVILLE, Ky. — The National Weather Service of Louisville has a busy week ahead of itself after severe weather made its way through Kentuckiana on Sunday.
Crews will be out surveying damage after a strong line of storms brought large hail, strong winds and heavy rain to a majority of the WHAS11 viewing area.
NWS Louisville has confirmed a preliminary EF-2 tornado touched down in Cecilia, Kentucky. That's in Hardin County.
The tornado reportedly had wind speeds around 115 miles per hour.
A second tornado was confirmed just outside our viewing area in Dubois and Martin County. Officials said the tornado was EF-2 strength but weakened to an EF-1 when it reached Dubois County.
Survey crews also found straight-line wind damage in Bullitt County. Those winds were estimated to be about 90-100 miles per hour.

Straight-line wind damage was also found in southern Floyd County, Indiana.
In addition, survey crews found intense straight-line wind damage up to 110 miles per hour, including damage from wind-driven baseball size hail, in Madison County, Kentucky.
NWS Louisville said the damage meets the criteria of a macroburst. The damage path east of Richmond reached widths just over 4 kilometers toward the county line.
Thousands are still without power after the storms knocked trees over onto homes and powerlines.
In Lyndon, Kentucky one home was crushed after a large tree toppled over due to the strong winds. Thankfully, no injuries have been reported in Kentuckiana.
Crews will continue surveying damage in Warren and Russell Counties.
