    The final details aren't in yet, but the National Weather Service has preliminary estimates on the strength of two of Tuesday's tornadoes.

    The weather service said preliminary data indicates the first of the tornadoes, in Union County, Kentucky, was an EF1 on the Enhanced Fujita scale. The damage, near Grove Center, was caused by peak winds of 105 mph. No injuries were reported there.

    The storm strengthened after it crossed the Ohio River and caused damage in Mount Vernon, Indiana.

    The weather service's preliminary data showed EF3 damage at the Kenco facility near Indiana 62 on the east end of Mount Vernon in Posey County. It had winds of 140 mph.

    No injuries were reported in Posey County, though 14 people were displaced from a mobile home park north of Indiana 62 on Seibert Lane.

    This story will be updated as more information becomes available.
