Friday marks 25 years since a tornado touched down in southern Jefferson County, strengthened to F4 as it tore across northern Bullitt County, and produced F3 damage in Spencer County. Below are social media graphics we'll be sending out over the next couple of days, and the educational poster we created several years ago for the event.

If you witnessed the storm, or one of the other tornadoes that occurred that day, and want to share your story, you can post it on our Facebook page, send out a tweet with the hashtag #BullittF4, or send us an email at nws.louisville@noaa.gov.
