Yep, Breckinridge County in Area 5 took a good hit too
around 4:09 AM EDT.  Cloverport, Hardinsburg and especially
Irvington had a good deal of damage. 4 Mobile homes and 1
house destroyed at minimum. Looked like high winds,
microbursts and POSSIBLY one tornado.  Several injured, no
reported fatalities.  

Spotters and the WARN Net were active as the cell moved
through.
