Overview

A line of strong to severe thunderstorms developed during the early afternoon on Tuesday June 21, 2016 along and south of the Ohio River, moving into eastern Kentucky during the mid afternoon hours. Sporadic wind damage occurred across Estill County as well as Morgan and Bell Counties. Much more significant impacts developed during the evening hours as a training line of storms set up across eastern Bell, southern Leslie, and Harlan Counties. This led to widespread flash flooding, especially across Harlan County, while several other homes and roads were also impacted across Leslie and Bell Counties.
