The sirens are going off now in my neighborhood. I’m listening in the basement. My phones is going crazy.

Southern Indiana in Jeffersonville/ Louisville area.
Hoping it dies down before it hits Frankfort. My 8 year old is with his mom and they had a tornado hit in their town and have no power
I am in the Louisville area near middletown. Just had 1 big thunder that shook the house and a few lightning but nothing insane yet.
It will be hitting us all the same according to the Doppler, be safe my man. Looking like it’s moving crazy fast. 75MPH with up to 60mph winds until 1:30 am.
Yeah I am staying up till like 2 or 3 just in case lol Thanks man you too!
Missed my house in Ballard County by about 1 mile and tore up my church pretty bad. A young boy and his family was parked under our overhang and was hit by debris from the tornado. He was in stable condition when EMS got there after having to perform CPR. Scary scene in Ballard County. Pray for this area.
Back about 20 years ago or so, when I lived in Illinois, a similar storm system came through and this small town had one cop car and a small force. Anyway, one weekend a big storm was coming through with hail and the policeman on duty ran his cop car to the towns only car wash to protect the car. His bosses would be proud. While he was in carwash, a tornado struck collapsing the carwash and destroying his car.
It’s FINALLY settling down a bit in Hopkinsville and the rest of WKY. SE Christian and Todd are going to be feeling it for a bit longer. But it’s way calmer west of Elton than it was.
Murray peeps, you ok? Murray got very very very lucky tonight.

Was the cop ok? But man that is some Tom and Jerry shit right there.
You good man? We’re ok in WKY but had the shit scared out of us several times tonight.
Looks like the tornado part of the storm in Louisville has moved on to the east now. Hopefully nothing actually touched down.
Looking for you all to keep me updated on how things go in Lexington. I’m out of the country at the moment but worried about family.
Heard a tornado was on the ground between East Louisville and The Shoppes of Bluegrass in Simpsonville.
So far nothing in Winchester and nothing from my mother in law on north side of lexington.
Georgetown 2 Tornado warnings, one close to sadieville.
Just finished my second tornado warning of the day in Simpson County. Helluva storm system rolling through.
Back to bed.
Back to bed.
Just pulled my wife and kid out of the closet where I kept them for 20 minutes here in Fayette County, between airport and Brannon. Got lucky and the storm dissipated right before it through.
That was a pretty creepy last few minutes here in Lexington. Wild sounds.
Yeah probably the same warning we had in north Jessamine about half hour ago.
Damn that was some violent rotation. Still crazy we haven't had an EF-5 rated tornado since 2013. Hopefully we don't but something is fishy with ratings the last 10 years or so. I remember watching the 2011 Super Outbreak where we had four EF-5'S in one day, really prob 3 more could've been rated that on that day. Then Joplin was horrific, then the El-Reno, not to be confused with the later 2013 tornado that killed storm chasers, was over two miles wide and had recorded vortices at 295mph. It was ruled an EF-5 then later downgraded to an EF-3.
Of course it's the anniversary of the OG super outbreak of April 3rd and 4th 1974. 3 EF-3 tornadoes hit the county I was born in and killed 6 people. I've been obsessed with tornadoes every since my parents told me their experiences that day and especially night. Mom actually drove right through the storm path, at night in her Camaro 5 minutes after it went through. Hell I wouldn't be born for another 10 years but she said she's never been so terrified as she was driving home with near constant lightning, illuminating the fast moving clouds.
And I shit you not it just thundered here for the first time tonight as I finished this. Hope all you guys are safe. I love these storms but I hope no tornado hits anything other than an open field if it has to. The torcon rating of 9 earlier was insane.

Had a tornado touch down just outside of Calvert City where I live, damage to Paducah airport as well. Stay safe folks
I'm in Northern KY too my daughter text me this morning " did you all get a tornado" I said I guess not I slept through the night. I only woke up a couple of times when I heard thunder. She said there was a tornado warning in my county of Grant and Pendleton. I never heard any of that.
The storm woke me up a 5 am and its raining hard and lightning

Been up off and on since 1a.m. No power for past 5 hours. Tried to go to the gym at 4:00 and no power there either. About 100K customers without power in NKY, Ohio, Indiana.
One of my kids was supposed to have a field trip to GABP today...poor guy was looking forward to it. Looks like hoping for reschedule is best outcome. Five of county schools have no power. Fortunately up here (NKY) I think tornados were dodged...hoping the best for all impacted.
