As you know, these storms went on to cause a good bit of damage and
unfortunately a fatality. Dozens of storm reports are available at:

"Search crews found the body of a woman Saturday morning who had been
missing since her home was washed away by flash flooding during heavy
storms that hit Franklin County. Franklin County, about halfway between
Lexington and Louisville, was the area hardest hit by violent thunderstorms
that struck the central part of the state about 3:30 p.m. EDT. National
Weather Service meteorologist James Brotherton said the storms dumped 5-6
inches of rain on Franklin County in a 90-minute period."The house was
gone. It took seconds," Smith said. He saw the house completely break
apart, the walls collapse and the roof fall in. "
