The wider storm

A cold front stretching from northern Indiana south along the Mississippi River Valley moved east through southern Indiana and central Kentucky. This powerful storm system brought widespread and locally heavy rain to the area along with damaging gradient and thunderstorm winds throughout the day. High temperatures dropped 20 degrees from January 11 to 12. Widespread 40-60 MPH winds occurred across the region in and out of storms, and through several waves during the day. This resulted in damaged property, tree damage, and injuries. At one point on Saturday afternoon, there were more than 43,000 power outages across the region.

Began near Harlan Xrds (36.6200, -85.7300).
