FLOODING WILL CONTINUE INTO FRIDAY...
Thank you for all of the storm reports.
We are all saddened by the tragedy in western Kentucky. Please keep the family in your thoughts and prayers.
A heavy rain and severe weather event moved through our region with the most significant damage along the KY/TN border counties and the Missouri Bootheel.
Numerous reports of wind damage and hail were received - along with several possible tornadoes.
Flash flooding and heavy rain impacted areas that did not receive severe thunderstorms. Flooding will continue in some areas over the coming days.
I picked up (and it is still raining as of this writing at 9 pm on Thursday night) over 3.70" of rain.
Quite an amazing rain event. Widespread totals of 1-4" were reported over the region with some areas picked up 4-6".
