At 1:15 PM @WFTV reported 5 dead, 4 injured. At 2:50pm they retracted that statement and now following law enforcement officials with 6 injured. There is a lot of misinformation circulated around and it’s always best to go with FBI and law enforcement. As an alumni,im praying

ANNOUNCEMENT 📣 Today is my last day at WHAS11. When I first moved here, I had no idea how much I would fall in love with this city. This is BEST foodie city in the nation - can’t convince me otherwise. Most importantly, it’s the people in this town.

Thank you so much for welcoming me on the morning show two years ago. I had the opportunity to switch to evenings and will be forever grateful for the experience I’ve gained. Thank you for trusting me whenever we had severe weather.

This is why I do what I do. I solo tracked a confirmed tornado on the ground yesterday. It was a confirmed EF-0 and a weaker one but I’m glad to keep everyone safe! #louisville #kentucky #indiana #perrycrossing #whas11

JUST IN: Massive half-mile wide tornado reported in several counties in Nebraska, knocking over a semi-truck. Western Omaha residents are being told to seek shelter now as the tornado is moving towards Elkhorn. Multiple toronados have been reported in the Lincoln area with 60mph winds and "golf balls-sized hail." (Nebraska Public Media) According to the Lincoln Journal, one of the tornadoes was "a half mile wide at one point." Insane. Videos: @aaronjayjack @NickGormanWX

Baby hail in Middletown for about 3 minutes where I live — as fast as it came down, the sun came out and melted them. @WHAS11 @wxColleen #kywx
