June 15, 2010 – Severe Thunderstorms

A series of severe thunderstorms moved through our region this afternoon and evening.  Numerous warnings were issued by the Paducah, Kentucky National Weather Service Office.  They did a great job!  Lot of wind damage reports scattered over the region.

Some photos I took from the house here in Massac County – beautiful cloud structure.
