What the National Weather Service wrote

Three homes were flooded on Mayes Creek Road.

The wider storm

During a time without any major weather systems moving through the region, a moist atmosphere with differential heating and remaining outflows from earlier thunderstorms was enough for thunderstorms and heavy rain to develop across central Kentucky. This resulted in widespread wind damage, flooding, and even fires from lightning. An elderly man drowned and his wife was injured trying to drive through flood waters.

Began near Thompsonville (37.7394, -85.1146).
