| Episode Narrative | The strong pressure gradient associated with a deep area of low pressure that moved across the Great Lakes on December 9th, brought strong and gusty winds to eastern Kentucky. Widespread moderate to sometimes intense rain showers led to some flooding problems around the area as well. Numerous reports of downed trees and power lines were received, inspite of the fact that the winds came up just short of warning criteria. A combination of wet ground and steep terrain allowed the sub warning criteria winds to bring down trees and power lines at many locations around eastern Kentucky. |
| Event Narrative | A tree was blown down across a road near Fleminsburg. A phone line and a power line were also blown down in town. Tin was blown of many roofs across the county as well. |
