In some way, shape or form - probably. Doubt they'll be as strong as they'll be in TN/AL/MS, but damaging winds are definitely on the table.

I don't see a huge threat that far east outside of wind, heavy rain, and maybe a little hail. Let's see what Clancy thinks.

Apparently loss of life has been confirmed in the Somerset area. Don't have a direct news source for this yet but apparently confirmed via scanner

Ugh! I was hoping that this wouldn’t be the case. However, significant tornadoes at night that impact communities do this all too often. Even if you do everything right, during warning ops or at home, sometimes it doesn’t change the ultimate outcome.

A little late for the mass casualty conversation, but it basically means local EMS is overwhelmed with incoming calls, and doesn't have the resources for all of them. There are usually EMS task forces made up of ambulances, police, fire, and even some local military units, from several counties, that are mobilized when a mass casualty is declared. It doesn't say anything about fatalities, but it is still a very bad and serious thing, and means there's a lot of people calling about entrapments and critical injuries.

When is last time that part of Kentucky saw such a significant tornado?
Likely 3/2/2012. There were several destructive/deadly tornadoes in E KY that day.

With multiple deaths and heavy damage in several towns in KY, I'd say the Somerset-London-Manchester tornado is one of the more significant tornadoes we've seen since at least Mayfield.

Thunder woke me up about 20 minutes ago…and only now is the line of storms producing it starting to clear Oxford.
If this is what it’s like at this distance…oh, i’m in for a show when it gets here, aren’t i?
