Abstract: In December 2021, an EF-4 tornado swept through several Midwest states in the United States, with Kentucky being the worst hit. Among the impacted towns was Mayfield, KY, where the historic buildings in downtown suffered significant damage. In response to this disaster, the authors conducted a reconnaissance mission to digitally document the affected historic structures. This involved capturing a series of three-dimensional (3D) point clouds, providing detailed spatial data about the impacted buildings. The resulting data set includes both the original raw data and processed information, now accessible via the DesignSafe open-access repository. This paper outlines the data collection process for the impacted buildings, and the steps undertaken to process it. The final product of this endeavor are the point clouds generated for the historic building typology, which included 10 historic buildings and 2 comparable religious buildings. These point clouds serve as invaluable resources for further analysis, aiding in understanding a disaster's impact, and guiding restoration endeavors. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
