Storm Damage Across Eastern Kentucky

The line of showers and storms that occupied our area earlier this afternoon entered a more favorable environment as they pressed to our east.  Storms rapidly intensified as they cut a northeastward path across the Bluegrass.

There have been several reports of wind damage resulting from the intense squall line feature that tracked through these locations. Several fallen trees, power outages, and structure damage has been reported across central and eastern Kentucky.  Here’s a few photos from this event:
