Strong west winds gusted from 40 to 50 MPH for several hours around the back side of an intense low pressure system. Some exact wind measurements from automated observing sites included: 42 MPH at Paducah, 40 MPH at Owensboro, and 47 MPH at Henderson. Observers at Fort Campbell near Hopkinsville reported a gust to 50 MPH. The strong winds caused some damage to power lines, especially in the Owensboro area. About 1,000 customers were without power when wind damaged lines along Kentucky 1389. In Owensboro, an antenna and a tree limb were down at a couple of residences. On the Ohio River near Owensboro, a fishing tournament was stopped by the dangerous winds and waves. One boat sank and several fishermen were stranded on an island. Coast Guard and other emergency personnel rescued boaters, and there were no injuries.
