It was a loud night in Lexington and across central Kentucky as thunderstorms rolled throughout the region.
Today, we spoke with the National Weather Service in Louisville about staying safe during severe weather.
Breckinridge County, Need County, they saw really big thunderstorms where there was some rotation in the clouds there.
But luckily, as far as we know, no tornadoes happened just yet.
But they had some wind damage there and some hail.
A lot of places saw not just tornadoes, a lot of wind damage and a lot of big, large hail and those can do just as much, if not more damage, sometimes even tornadoes.
So there's a myth actually out there that bodies of water will stop tornadoes.
And we saw a really cool video where this is a myth and not the case where a tornado actually crossed from Indiana, near Madison, Indiana.
It crossed into Trimble County there and went right across the river.
No problems at all.
Kentucky is a unique state in the Midwest here where you have different air masses that collide.
And every March, April, May, the springtime, you get the winter air that's leaving us the cold air and the warm air from the south.
A lot of moisture from the Gulf of Mexico.
And when those two air masses collide, you get some really, really big thunderstorms and tornadoes.
So that's why it's very important right now to have a good plan in place and know ahead of time what's going to happen if severe weather strikes.
Governor Andy Beshear will tour storm damage in Trumbull County tomorrow morning.
