\nHeavy rain and strong winds battered Central Kentucky and Southern Indiana Sunday night into Monday morning prompting several tornado and severe thunderstorm warnings.<\/p>\n
A line of strong storms raced through the area leaving much property damage, downed power lines, toppled trees and broken limbs. The storms also caused major power outages across the region.<\/p>\n
Many areas in Meade and surrounding counties had roofs blown off, buildings demolished, trees across the roads in several areas, and utility poles blown down.<\/p>\n
Crews from the National Weather Service surveyed the damage across the region on Monday in an effort to determine if the damages resulting from straight line winds or tornados.<\/p>\n
Mike Kochasic with the National Weather Service said the timing and force of the storms should serve as a wake-up call and urges people to be ready for more in the coming months.<\/p>\n
Kochasic said tornadoes at night are definitely a thing to be careful about, and make sure you have multiple ways to receive warnings. He said this is only March and we are just starting into the spring season.<\/p>\n
Meade County emergency officials said one person was hurt. They warned people to use caution when cleaning up debris and to never touch downed power lines.
