   I am in Nicholasville too but I am seeing quite a bit of lightning and thunder. The wind and rain are pretty hard at times as well. I’m in the newer houses close to City-County Park.

    Acording to radar, looks like another round to come through around daybreak.

    Wow this last round that just went overhead packed more of a punch with the Heavy rain and strong winds than the one earlier tonight when the Cloud wall went right over the house . On US 60 Clark Fayette CO line.

    Frankfort’s alarm clock this morning was wind, rain, MAJOR thunder/lightning and lots of hail. Not sure anybody slept through that.

    Jen on April 23, 2011 at 10:21 am

    I think WKYT got zapped! TG was in mid sentence and then nothing.

    james on April 23, 2011 at 10:29 am

    Getting hail in SE Fayette. I can’t ever recall this many storms in a 12 hour period.

    This line of storms has been like a bad stomach bug. Just when you think it’s over, another wave hits you. Blah.

    Coffeelady on April 23, 2011 at 12:02 pm

    Chris, you are truly amazing, and much appreciated. We have been lucky so far here in that the storms have all stayed just north of us. I am sure that will likely change before all is said and done. Everyone please be careful and keep and eye and ear on the weather.
    Chris, thanks again for your dedication. You and the team at KYT as well are appreciated more than one can ever say.

    laura on April 23, 2011 at 12:26 pm

    Something I found very interesting…as the tornadic storm approached Lawrenceburg yesterday, my Vantage Pro2 station graphed a VERY sharp drop in barometric pressure…like, a 1.2 in. drop. That’s awesome.

    Chris and the weather, UNBELIEVABLE! Chris for staying up all night to keep people safe and the weather here in Nicholasville keeping me up all night. Never remember a night like last night, storm after storm. Chris your dedication to this web site and the people who follow it is unmatched. I know I speak for all that visit, so THANK YOU FOR WHAT YOU DO, Kentucky is safer because of you. Thanks again.

    Finally! Sun has shown itself in Lexington. Nice to see, but I wonder if it will cause daytime heating for more storms to fire up this afternoon? May help those storms around L’vill and Owensboro heading this way to intensify.
