Throughout the state of Kentucky, severe storms, including tornadoes, can happen anytime.

While these dangerous storms are less likely to happen during the winter months, it was just nine year ago that a “Super Tuesday” event took place.

More than 50 people in the Midwest died and hundreds more were injured from tornadoes and severe storms that raced through the area on February 5 and 6, 2008.

The forecast for this week shows severe storms, so it’s important that you keep track of the forecast and watch for changing weather conditions.
