A series of upper level disturbances moved from the Upper Midwest into the lower Ohio Valley and interacted with a moist, warm and unstable atmosphere. Strong to severe thunderstorms developed and then organized into bowing segments across the area, spawning three weak tornadoes in addition to widespread areas of downburst wind damage. Thousands of trees were downed, causing scattered power outages and some structural damage.  In addition, due to the very wet antecedent conditions, flash flooding occurred in several locations, resulting in closed and impassable roads, water rescues and significant property damage. The most widespread and hardest hit areas were along and east of Interstate 65 in central Kentucky. Rainfall amounts over the period were in excess of 5 to 7 inches. Several rivers across the region went above flood stage, cresting several feet above flood stage.
