I don’t have access to twitter and I don’t have email on my phone…I hate this…
Just had a storm move through the city of Corbin. Lots of wind, torrential rain, and small, but steady hail. No severe thunderstorm warning was issued. Actually, moutain news had just said nothing severe in the area 2 seconds before the weather began here.
Well, it takes 58+ mph wind or 1″ or greater hail to prompt a severe thunderstorm warning. Did you have either of those?
hey Lisa I ve been watching those storms all day im just to your south about 20 miles and it hasnt rained in my yard all day…weird…those storms have trained over the same areas of mccreary,whitley and northern knox co. all day…
Just starting to rain here in East Bernstadt. Thunder off in the distance.
