MILTON, Ky. — In the waning light of Thursday evening, Raymond Durocher chatted by the Ohio River with friends and family. Normally, that would have been at his camper, but the gravel lot had been wiped clean. The camper had been tossed by a tornado and come to rest across Kentucky 36.

About half a dozen campers in this little getaway spot had been upended, rolled, strewn across the highway and even tossed into the river. One remained entirely missing. Remnants hung over the rail fences of Richwood on the River, where the lights were out in the historic mansion. Durocher was swapping stories with his neighbors, marveling how he was in one piece.
