2/5 - 7pm - Tornadoes in Memphis

I've just received word from the SPC that there have been at least two reports of tornado damage in the Memphis, TN area. One report reads that a tornado has been spotted on the ground near Hwy 70 and another says that numerous homes were damaged.

This is of the utmost importance here. These storms are tracking NE at 65 mph and will be in the Louisville area in just a couple hours. There is concern because the tornadoes in West Tennessee are staying on the ground for long distances and could still be on the ground by the time they go through Bowling Green and eventually here.

Separate from these super cells is the main squall line of storms about 2 hours behind them. This is when the embedded tornadoes and straight line winds will come into play.

At 8:30-9pm, things should start to get dangerous in Louisville.
