Morton's Gap, KY – Hopkins County Emergency Management Director Frank Wright says reports that a tornado touched down in the county last night are unfounded. Wright's crew searched for signs of debris after a funnel cloud allegedly touched down near Morton's Gap. He says they located no evidence. The National Weather Service is putting evaluations of tornadic activity on hold. Forecaster Deanna Lindstrom says the staff at the NWS office in Paducah typically survey storm damage a few days after an event. She says the repeated storms have kept the staff too busy to go out. The NWS plans to prioritize damaged areas later this week.
