On April 7th the first round of storms came into the area crossing the TN/KY line around logan county moving north east... Other Cells fired across the state but the storm in the south moved into barren county producing .75+ inch hail and numerous reports of funnel clouds. this storm eventually moved to the south of lexington. later in the evening around 9:25 Pm a lone supercell storm ahead of the main line of storms approached the county. This storm had well defined structure even seen in the dark. as the cell got into the county a severe thunderstorm warning was issued. from my location behind southern elementary school I noted what looked like a very large funnel cloud to my southwest approx 0.5 miles away shortly there after there was a breif period of .25 inch hail high winds and very heavy rains...
On further examination of the photo of the funnel there is a strong possibility it was in fact a tornado altho only slight tree damage was noted in a survey i conducted a few days later..
Image shows an extension below the funnel down to approx 100 ft with a visible debris poof directly below that.. i will be looking over radar archives to see if anything was visible on there.... I will update this when that is complete...
