Today's KY Severe Weather Awareness Week #KYSWAW topic for East Kentucky is lightning, which causes hundreds of casualties a year on average in the US. It is also one of the least understood weather phenomena. Get a more detailed look at the science behind it here: youtube.com/watch?v=w1g0...

When severe thunderstorms produce high wind gusts, tree damage is expected. Branches and other outdoor objects can become airborne & dangerous. During damaging wind events, you are safest in the interior room of a building, away from windows. Stay #WeatherReady, #Kentucky! #ekywx #kywx #KYSWAW

DYK? Lightning strikes the US 25 million times a year. If you hear thunder or see a flash, you are within striking distance of the storm. Protect yourself and your loved ones by remembering this: #WhenThunderRoars, #GoIndoors or #SeeAFlash, #DashInside. #BePrepared #StayWeatherAware #KYSWAW #kywx

A wintry mix is forecast for Monday across portions of So. Indiana and Central KY and a heavy rainfall potential later during the first week of meteorological spring and #Kentucky's #SevereWeatherAwarenessWeek #KYSWAW. Details at www.weather.gov/media/lmk/Ds... #BePrepared #StayWxAware #kywx #inwx
