Sunday’s weather setup provided the marginal threat for severe storms. As it turned out, a few tornado warnings were issued, with one being confirmed in Henderson County.
The tornado and strong winds weren’t the only nuisance felt by Kentuckians yesterday. A rapidly intensifying cell trained across portions of western Kentucky, dropping rainfall amounts at rates exceeding 1-2″/hour in some locations! This resulted in Muhlenberg County flooding issues Sunday evening.

This is a far cry from our flash flooding experience here in Warren County Saturday before last.
With flooding of this magnitude, it could be several weeks before cleanup is complete. Keep these folks in your thoughts and prayers. Remember, if you ever see water over roadways…TURN AROUND, DON’T DROWN!
