2005: McCutchanville Dispatched to Tornado Strike

November 6, 2005

November 6th, 2005 McCutchanville was dispatched to assist Knight Township for a Tornado that had hit Eastbrook Trailer Park.  The deadly tornado touched down about 25 miles southwest of Evansville Indiana, near the small community of Smith Mills KY in northwest Henderson county KY. The tornado rapidly became a violent F3 tornado and with a rapid rate of speed, it crossed the Ohio River three times before trekking across three southwest Indiana counties, leaving a 41 mile path of destruction and killing 25 people.  This was the deadliest tornado to strike Indiana since 1974 and, at that time, it was the deadliest tornado since 1999 nationwide.
