If you've ever wondered where the most tornadoes have struck in the Tri-State, you might want to think about your own backyard! Owensboro has been hit by 3 F-3 tornadoes since 1950...that's more than any other city in the Tri-State. The graphic shows all tornado tracks across Daviess County.
Owensboro was hit on December 9, 1952, then again on January 3, 2000 and once more on October 17, 2007. Owensboro is unique in that 3 strong tornadoes tore right through town on three separate occasions. Amazingly, there were no deaths and only a few injuries in each instance.
