The threat of severe weather across central Kentucky is diminishing now. Basically what happened is that the massive tornado outbreak across the deep south prevented an outbreak in Kentucky. We need to keep those folks down south in our prayers. They were hit VERY hard tonight. Last word I got was over 30 fatalities, but I'm sure that number will be on the rise in the next 36 hours. Just a historic tornado outbreak for much of the nation recently. This weather is extreme!
But here in Kentucky, things are going to finally start winding down now. There's still a shot at a thunderstorm here and there through tomorrow, but the severe weather is basically gone now. Friday and Saturday look gorgeous, and we should have a chance to dry out a little bit before the next system affects the area on Sunday night.
We'll also have a chance to survey the damage left behind, including the landslides and roads/bridges that have been washed away in Kentucky and the tornado and straight line wind damage. I'm sure details will follow in the local news in the next couple of days. This was a wild 7 days of weather, and both exciting and tragic, but I for one will be glad to see the sunshine this weekend!
Take care, and thanks for stopping by to check out the site. I'll work on adding some new information to the page soon.
