On the morning of Saturday November 24th 2001 the silent November morning calm before Thanksgiving weekend festivities ensure was broken. Harris Grove in Western Calloway county west of Murray was directly hit by this tornado.
Extensive damage occurred in this tornado over 500 thousand I will post the survey from NWS PAH from this tornado.
A little history on this day ARK and East OK was supposed to have a big tornado outbreak. It did happen with Hunt ARK being devastate by a tornado. After that these storms were supposed to do that in Arkansas the squall line was supposed to form than weaken in West KY.
That didnt happen despite some very crappy instability the wind shear and forcing of cold front led to rotation in the squall line thus leading to a rotating supercell feature in the squall line that produced the tornado in Harris Grove KY. Which caused some extensive damage to homes and moblie homes and carports.
A tornado watch did go in effect a few hours before hand talking about some tornado pot. in supercell features of the squall line.
Survey is here.
