  "episodeNarrative": "A few damaging wind events and an isolated tornado occurred across western Kentucky during the late night/early morning hours. Instability was meager, but very strong wind shear contributed to an environment favorable for a few severe storms. The storms occurred in the warm sector of a surface low centered over northeast Kansas. The storms were far removed from the primary surface fronts, but a 500 mb shortwave rotating northeast toward the lower and mid-Mississippi Valley provided strong forcing for storms. The storms were mainly in bands with embedded weak mesovortices. The multiple bands of storms produced locally heavy rainfall that caused pockets of flash flooding, mainly southeast of a line from Murray to Madisonville. The heavy rain pushed the Green River slightly above flood stage.",

  "eventNarrative": "A brief weak tornado with estimated peak winds of 85 mph struck the southwest side of Hopkinsville. Most of the damage was in the form of several large, snapped trees. A cinder block garage attached to a home lost its roof. A portion of an adjacent house lost some roofing. A large carport was tossed at least 25 yards into a wooded area.  The path of the tornado roughly paralleled Kentucky Route 695 from the U.S. 68 bypass northeast to a residential area neighboring the Hopkinsville high school.",
