Last Night

The first thing to speak of would be the storm reports from last night. There were 3 tornadoes in the north-central Kentucky area. Preliminary data on these tornadoes can be found here!




There was and EF-2 tornado in Hardin county, KY, right near Elizabethtown, in Cecilia! Winds were up to 115mph!


Storm reports from yesterday in the country were absolutely of the charts, and out the roof for february.
If you can read that, you will see that there were 78 tornado reports, 220 damaging wind reports (winds over 58mph), 2 destructive wind reports (wind over 75mph), 119 large hail reports (hail >.75 in. diameter), and 12 destructive hail reports (hail >1.75 in. diameter).
A bad day to say the least. Number of fatalities is 21 from the Storm Prediction Center, to as high as 50 by NBC WeatherPlus.
