 A National Weather Service storm survey team confirmed three tornadoes in Jefferson, Clark and Floyd counties Tuesday morning.

The Jefferson county tornado touched down briefly at 10:40 AM near the Madison Municipal County Airport. Wind speeds were estimated at 85 MPH. The tornado moved a 500 pound dumpster 35 feet and pushed a Beechcraft King airplane while damaging the nose gear.

Another tornado touched down at a Wal-mart parking lot in Clarksville turning over a car and damaging homes in it’s 2 mile path.

A cold front colliding with unusually warm January temperatures produced severe weather over most of south central Indiana Tuesday morning leaving thousands without power.
