There were numerous roads flooded and closed. The Old Bottling Company collapsed onto a power pole which cut power to much of Greensburg. Water rescues were also conducted.

The wider storm

A stalled frontal boundary brought waves of heavy rainfall to central Kentucky from February 26 through February 28. This caused record rainfall, isolated severe winds, and even a tornado. As a result, Bowling Green set a February daily rainfall record with 5.11 on the 28th. The severe winds brought down some trees and a power pole, but the most property damage came from a brief EF1 tornado.

Began near Greensburg (37.2904, -85.5044).
