Kentuckians are cleaning up today from heavy rain, high winds and even tornadoes in parts of the state.

It was round one in a series of storms expected to last through Sunday.

Governor Andy Beshear declared a state of emergency yesterday.

Today looked back at last night's storms and ahead to what we can expect through the weekend.

The last night was rough for many.

I was up twice with my kids down in the basement with the sirens coming off.

Here in Franklin County.

I know we had tornadoes, touched down a number of places in Kentucky, including in McCracken County, where the airport was hit and sustained damage, as well as in Jefferson County, where a number of commercial buildings, sustained some damage.

Thankfully, we do not have any reported fatalities as of today, and only a few injuries with a family injured in flying debris in Ballard County.

Those are the only known injuries at the moment.

One injury to that family was more significant than the others.

I'm awaiting an update on that individual.

So Saturday's forecast is a little worse than than Friday.

Again, we've got an enhanced risk of two across much of the Commonwealth, so we're expecting more storms, that day.

Again, you can have the large hail and strong, gusty winds.

These forecasts are changing as the days go by.

But what you should what you should take away is, rain this afternoon.

And this evening.

Some can be significant and severe.

A chance for them, tomorrow, but less.

And then Saturday, it looks like we're going to have a lot of rain.

That, again, is going to accumulate.

Let's go to the next one.

All right.

This is just, the additional rain we expect on top of what we got last night, which was significant in some places.

What that means is in western Kentucky, between last night and the end of Saturday, you could have a foot of rain that came, in just those series of days.

And what that means is flash flooding is possible.

That's not very quick flooding when a whole lot of water comes down.

That sometimes gets people in their homes, and then widespread river flooding.

And that's what oftentimes covers roads for a period of time.

And and can and can really be, life threatening.

Yes.

Be wary of those rising waters.

And let's take a look at some of the damage from last night in Northern Kentucky.

Powerful winds caused a tree to uproot and crush a home in Erlanger around 1230 this morning.

Three people were inside at the time.

Emergency crews had to rescue one of them.

Neighbors told us the crash sounded like a train coming through the street.

More than 10,000 northern Kentuckians were without power earlier today.

Most of that has now been restored, according to Duke Energy.

Several roads were also shut down due to flooding and downed trees.

Many schools in the region were on a delayed schedule today, but some districts like Campbell, Pendleton and Carroll County Schools closed for the day.

We have video of other damage.

This was the scene in part of Garrett County.

This is along Kentucky Highway 39 and preacher's ville, and it was a similar scene today in parts of Madison County with winds knocking down trees and causing damage to buildings.

The National Weather Service confirms a tornado touched down in Jefferson County overnight.

Louisville Mayor Craig Greenberg declared a state of emergency for the county.

He says some of the most extensive damage is in the Jefferson Town and Middletown areas.

The good news is that we are unaware of any injuries that resulted that are the result of the storm last night.

And so that is, we are very fortunate that when the storm came through and when these strong, damaging winds came through, none of these areas behind us or some of the other areas of damage that we're seeing today.

Nobody was hurt.

So that is the good news.

But of course, many businesses, homes suffered very significant damage in and around the Georgetown and Middletown area.

Flooding remains a concern in and around Louisville through the weekend.

Mayor Greenberg said that could impact Thunder over Louisville.

The annual kickoff event to the Kentucky Derby Festival is a week from Saturday.
