Yesterday's storms packed a wallop. A small but potent storm began peaking just as it slammed into the Louisville Metro, area including our friends just across the river in Floyd, Clark, and Harrison counties.
Several reliable sources of wind gusts from 60-70mph were reported. I was trying to keep up with all the reports of wires down in the area. I could tell the dispatcher was even laboring as a flood of reports kept coming in.
In addition, I followed a severe storm in the Indianapolis area last evening and stumbled upon a horrible happening when a stage and rigging collapsed on scores of people below at a concert at the state fair. High winds sounds like the major culprit. As of this post, 4 people have died and dozens have been injured.
As far as power outages, here is a most recent list...
In Kentucky: (8:00am)
LGE/KU total outages 83,000
Jefferson county 75,000
Scott county 3,000
Oldham county 2,200
Fayette county 1,300
In Indiana:
Duke Energy total outages for Indiana 12,600
Clark county 6,200
Floyd county 5,550
