Local storm reports filed while the alert was in force, from inside its polygon or its counties.
Did it verify
Not verified. The Iowa Environmental Mesonet's Cow found no qualifying storm report inside this tornado warning while it was in force. That is not proof nothing happened: reports are thin where few people live.
Cow counts a report within 15 km of the polygon while the warning was in force: a tornado for a tornado warning; hail of 1 inch or more, a gust of 58 mph or more or wind damage for a severe thunderstorm warning; a flash flood report for a flash flood warning.

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LOUISVILLE KY
911 AM EDT TUE OCT 26 2010
...MESOSCALE UPDATE...
...TORNADO WATCH UNTIL FOR ENTIRE CWA UNTIL 4 PM EDT/ 3 PM CDT.
...HIGH RISK FOR SEVERE WEATHER EXPANDED TO SOUTHERN INDIANA AND
NORTH CENTRAL KENTUCKY...
SOLID LINE OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS CONTINUES TO MOVE TOWARD SOUTH
CENTRAL INDIANA AND CENTRAL KENTUCKY THIS MORNING. CURRENT STORM
MOTION AND TIMING HAVE THE FIRST STORMS ENTERING OUR NORTHWESTERN
CWA AROUND 930 AM EDT WITH THE BEAVER DAM AREA EXPECTING THE LINE BY
1030 AM EDT. FURTHER EAST...THE LOUISVILLE METRO SHOULD SEE THE LINE
OF STORMS AROUND 1130 AM EDT.
A VERY DYNAMIC SITUATION IS OCCURRING WITH 970 MB LOW OVER MN/WI
REGION AND ASSOCIATED COLD FRONT EXTENDING SOUTHWARD THROUGH CENTRAL
ILLINOIS AND SOUTHEAST MO. WITH AND H85 JET AROUND 70 KNOTS AND H5
JET AROUND 100 KNOTS...BOWING SEGMENTS WITH EMBEDDED MESO VORTICES
WILL YIELD DAMAGING WINDS AS THE MAIN THREAT. ALTHOUGH...STRONG AND
VEERING WIND PROFILE ALOFT IS YIELDING LARGE AND LOOPING HODOGRAPHS
SO EMBEDDED SUPERCELLS...ALONG WITH SUPERCELL STRUCTURES AHEAD OF
THE LINE WILL BE POSSIBLE. WIDESPREAD DAMAGE REPORTS ARE ALREADY
OCCURRING UPSTREAM WITH WINDS AS HIGH AS 80 MPH MEASURED AT ST.
LOUIS EARLY THIS MORNING. HIGH POTENTIAL WILL EXIST FOR ANY STORM TO
MIX DOWN STRONG WINDS ALOFT AS SOUNDINGS INDICATE A LOT OF DRY AIR
AT THE MID LEVELS AND LATEST DCAPE FROM THE RUC MESOANALYSIS SHOWS
ALMOST 1000 J/KG OF DOWNWARD MOMENTUM.
BOTTOM LINE...THIS LINE OF STORMS IS EXPECTED TO PRODUCE WIDESPREAD
WIND DAMAGE WITH ISOLATED TORNADOES ALSO POSSIBLE. TAKE THIS WEATHER
SITUATION VERY SERIOUSLY!!!
...FORECAST UPDATE...
UPDATING THE FORECAST FOR THE RECENTLY ISSUED TORNADO WATCH 722.
SEE WCNLMK FOR MORE INFORMATION.
SQUALL LINE TO OUR WEST BARRELING DOWN ON OUR CWA QUICKLY THIS
MORNING. THE LINE WILL REACH OUR FAR WRN CWA...OUR WESTERN
SOUTH-CENTRAL INDIANA COUNTIES BY 930AM EDT...BUT THE SOUTHERN END
OF THE LINE WILL TAKE LONGER TO REACH OUR SW CWA. PROBABLY BY 1030AM
EDT.
MAIN THREATS WITH THE LINE WILL BE DAMAGING WINDS TO 70 MPH...WITH
POSSIBLE ISOLATED TORNADOES.
.SHORT TERM (TODAY AND TONIGHT)...
...VERY WINDY CONDITIONS WITH DANGEROUS SQUALL LINE FORECAST TO MOVE
THROUGH THE REGION TODAY...
WELL-ADVERTISED COLD FRONT NOW HAS A DEVELOPING SQUALL LINE MOVING
EAST ACROSS CENTRAL MISSOURI. SPECIAL 06Z SOUNDING AT ILX INDICATED
A RAPID UPTICK IN PRECIPITABLE WATER...UP TO 1.51 INCHES...JUST
AHEAD OF THE SQUALL LINE AND IN LINE WITH MODEL FORECASTS FOR NOW.
MODELS CALL FOR PW'S TO INCREASE FURTHER TO BETWEEN 1.7 AND 1.8
INCHES AS STRONG SOUTHERLY FLOW PULLS IN EVEN MORE MOISTURE. THAT
FLOW...ROUGHLY 50-55 KNOTS AT 3 KFT AS PER LATEST VAD WIND
PROFILE...IS ALSO CREATING ENOUGH SHEAR AND HELICITY TO MAINTAIN THE
LINE AND POSSIBLY DEVELOP SOME TORNADIC SUPERCELLS OUT AHEAD OF IT.
WITHIN THE LINE ITSELF...DAMAGING WIND GUSTS WILL BE THE MAIN
THREAT. GFS HAS CAUGHT UP TO THE STRENGTH OF THE LOW LEVEL JET
PREDICTED BY THE NAM 24 HOURS AGO...NOW GOING FOR 65-75 KNOTS AT 850
MB AS THE LINE MOVES ACROSS THE REGION. THESE DAMAGING WINDS ARE
EXPECTED TO TRANSLATE DOWN TO THE SURFACE IN THE STRONGER CELLS THAT
FORM ALONG THE LINE.
OF NOTE IS HOW THE LATEST HRRR...THE 04Z RUN...IS HANDLING THE
FORECAST...AND IS IN LINE WITH OUR THINKING. IT DOES SHOW SEVERAL
DISCRETE CELLS FORMING OUT AHEAD OF THE MAIN LINE BY MID MORNING
OVER THE WESTERN CWA BEFORE MERGING INTO ONE MAIN LINE JUST AFTER
NOON.
BASED ON STANDARD SUITE OF MODELS AS WELL AS HIGHER RESOLUTION
ONES...FOR NOW THE BEST GUESS AT THE TIMING OF THE SQUALL LINE WILL
BE AROUND 14-15Z OVER THE NORTHWEST CWA...16-18Z FROM KSDF TO
KBWG...AND 18-21Z OVER THE BLUEGRASS AND LAKE CUMBERLAND REGIONS.
TRAILING STRATIFORM RAIN SHOULD CONTINUE FOR A FEW HOURS BEHIND THE
MAIN LINE.
THROUGH THE MORNING AND AHEAD OF THAT LINE...EXPECT THE PRESSURE
GRADIENT TO BE TIGHT ENOUGH TO CONTINUE THE WIND ADVISORY IN EFFECT.
WILL SEE SUSTAINED WINDS UP TO 25-35 MPH WITH GUSTS TO 45 MPH.
ONCE THE FRONT IS CLEAR OF THE AREA...CONDITIONS WILL IMPROVE
QUICKLY. WINDS WILL CALM DOWN SIGNIFICANTLY TONIGHT...BUT WILL
RETURN TO SOUTHWESTERLY. WITH LOWER DEWPOINTS AND CLEARING
SKIES...EXPECT TEMPERATURES TO FALL TO AROUND 50 DEGREES OVERNIGHT.
SURPRISING AFTER SUCH A STRONG FRONT TO NOT GET COOLER THAN
THIS...BUT THE NEXT DRY FRONT COMING IN THE LONG TERM WILL DO THAT
JOB...SEE BELOW.
.LONG TERM (WEDNESDAY - MONDAY)...
WEDNESDAY - SATURDAY...
A PRETTY QUIET SECOND HALF OF THE WORK WEEK AFTER TODAY/S SYSTEM
EXITS THE AREA. WED AND THURS WILL REMAIN BREEZY AS SFC ISOBARS
REMAIN CLOSELY PACKED. WINDS ARE EXPECTED TO GUST INTO THE 25 TO
30 MPH RANGE WED/THURS AFTERNOONS.
COLD AIR BEHIND TODAY/S SYSTEM WILL BE DELAYED UNTIL
THURS WHEN A COOLER MUCH DRIER AIRMASS WILL ENTER THE REGION EARLY
IN THE DAY. SO WE/LL BE WARM FOR WED UNDER SW FLOW WITH HIGHS IN THE
LOW TO MID 70S. THURS/FRI WILL BE COOLER WITH HIGHS IN THE UPPER 50S
AND LOW 60S. THEN THE AIRMASS WILL START TO MODERATE BY SATURDAY
WITH HIGHS IN THE MID 60S.
WE HAVE FROST POTENTIAL FOR TWO NIGHTS IN THE LONG TERM
PERIOD...THURS NIGHT AND FRI NIGHT. WITH THE COLDER AIRMASS IN
PLACE AND CLEAR SKIES OVER MOST OF THE REGION...WE SHOULD SEE
WIDESPREAD FROST OVER THE AREA FOR THURS NIGHT. FRIDAY NIGHT/S
FROST LOOKS TO COVER MAINLY AREAS EAST OF I-65 AS WARMER AIR STARTS
TO INVADE THE WEST PREVENTING FROST.
SUNDAY - TUESDAY...
AS PREVIOUSLY MENTIONED...ANOTHER WEATHER SYSTEM LOOKS TO MAKE IT/S
WAY INTO THE AREA FOR EARLY NEXT WEEK. BOTH THE 0Z GFS AND 12Z
ECMWF DEPICT AN UPPER LEVEL WAVE INTENSIFYING AS IT CROSSES THE
ROCKIES AND DIVES DOWN INTO TEXAS. SFC CYCLOGENESIS LOOKS TO
COMMENCE WITH THIS UPPER LEVEL LOW BY MON/TUES TIME FRAME BRINGING
MORE SHOWERS/T-STORMS TO OUR AREA BY LATE MON THROUGH WED.
TEMPERATURES LOOK TO BE SLIGHTLY ABOVE SEASONAL NORMS FOR THE
BEGINNING OF NEXT WEEK.
&&
.AVIATION (12Z TAF ISSUANCE)...
LATEST VWP INDICATES WINDS OF 50-60 KTS AT 3 KFT. WIND SHEAR LESS OF
A PROBLEM AS SURFACE WINDS ARE PICKING UP...SO HAVE TAKEN OUT OF ALL
TAFS EXCEPT FOR KLEX. STILL EXPECTING THESE WINDS TO TRANSLATE DOWN
BY MID MORNING...WITH GUSTS OUTSIDE OF THUNDERSTORMS TO AROUND 35
KNOTS. STRONGER STORMS WILL SEE GUSTS TO 50-60 KNOTS BUT AM GOING A
LITTLE MORE CONSERVATIVE IN THE TEMPO GROUPS FOR NOW. STILL HAVE IFR
CONDITIONS IN THE STORMS...AND HAVE MOVED UP THE TIMING A LITTLE NOW
THAT THE SQUALL LINE MOTION HAS COME INTO BETTER FOCUS. STILL CANNOT
RULE OUT SOME STORMS POPPING UP AHEAD OF THE MAIN LINE AND HAVE
ACCOUNTED FOR THIS WITH A TEMPO GROUP ABOUT AN HOUR BEFORE EXPECT
THE SQUALL LINE TO REACH EACH STATION.
BEHIND THE FRONT WIND WILL BECOME MORE WSW AND WILL REMAIN SLIGHTLY
GUSTY THOUGH NOT AS STRONG AS AHEAD OF THE FRONT. AS THE SUN SETS
WINDS WILL SETTLE DOWN BELOW 10KT AND ANY LEFT OVER CLOUDS WILL
CLEAR OUT.
