Storm rips through Kentucky community
SPRINGFIELD, Ky. (AP) — The National Weather Service has issued tornado warnings for parts of Kentucky, Tennessee, West Virginia and Virginia, hours after a harsh storm hit a remote area of central Kentucky, killing one person and injuring seven others. Washington County Judge-executive Timothy Graves says two or three houses were destroyed and downed trees temporarily blocked roads. Gov. Andy Beshear canceled a visit planned for Friday to Pulaski and Laurel counties, which were hit by a tornado earlier this month. That storm left 19 dead in the state. The National Weather Service says a crew surveying damage in Washington County has found “at least” EF1 tornado damage.
