In the evening hours of March 2, 2012, during a widespread and deadly tornado outbreak in the Ohio Valley region, a short-lived yet fatal EF2 tornado struck portions of Laurel County, Kentucky, notably in the East Bernstadt area to the north of London. This tornado caused significant damage, with estimated winds of up to 125 mph (201 km/h). The storm produced a damage path approximately 7.15 miles (11.51 km) long and 310 yd (280 m) wide at its largest. Six fatalities were attributed to this event, every single one of which occurred in a mobile home. Forty people were injured by the tornado. It has been stressed various times by weather officials that mobile homes are a poor choice of shelter during tornadoes, proving to be highly fatal. Besides damage to mobile homes, severe damage was inflicted on multiple framed homes, trees were uprooted and felled, and outbuildings were collapsed or in some cases entirely swept. A scar, visible on satellite imagery from after the event, was carved into the ground. Damages amounted to around $5 million (2012 USD).
