DANVILLE, Ky. — Almost 240 miles away from Mayfield, tornado damage also hit parts of central Kentucky, including in Boyle County.

The Danville-Boyle County Airport will continue spending much of this week cleaning up debris. Danville’s mayor said the storms twisted, flipped, and broke airplanes on the tarmac like little toys.

“It just makes you realize mother nature is such a force,” said Mike Perros, Mayor of Danville. “And tornadoes, it's hard to figure out how it does all that it does. It's hard to understand the physics of it.”

The Kentucky National Guard members spent Sunday morning hours securing the perimeter at the airport where much of the fence is elsewhere.

Perros added that the devastation Boyle County has seen pales in comparison to what’s taking place in western Kentucky.

“It's just hard to get your mind around it until you start to start realize it. Mayfield, Kentucky is just unbelievable and [Danville] is very, very doable, very understandable, relative to Mayfield.”

In that same line of damage, tornadoes ripped off the roof and damaged a workshop right across the street.

“It's kind of sad today trying to take everything out of here and try to put it somewhere. What we can salvage,” said Roy Phillips, as he and his family decided what to keep and what to trash.

“We had a 12 by 12 door here, a roll-up door, we had a 10 by 10 roll-up door here with a 36-inch walk-in door over there. And it just *poof sound* you can see it in the rubble there. It’s in there somewhere,” Phillips said.

The 80-year-old is processing the last 48 hours while he shows the devastation the tornadoes have caused to his workshop.

“You can see what’s left. Very little. I don't know. It’s hard to say because– I just look up here and see this destruction and I just wanna cry. Cause you know it’s a big loss,” Phillips said.

The big loss is also felt by his grandson, Jeremy Hardin.

“Just heard a loud pop. My wife started screaming and we got down the hallway and before we knew it, it was over with and went outside and the whole roof was gone,” Hardin said.

Hardin estimates his roof is somewhere 200 yards away.

“Of course when it ripped the roof off the drywall still up, so we didn't know the roof had come off until I walked to the back part of the house and saw it was missing,” Hardin said.

While the roof is missing, he’s grateful to have his family.

“Right now we're just glad still be alive. All this stuff can be replaced but – it’s tough but we're still glad to be here,” Hardin said.

The Boyle County Judge-Executive said only portions of the county saw the damage, as much of it is near the airport.
