SUMMARY: A tornado devastated the London Corbin Airport in Laurel County, Kentucky, causing severe damage. Small planes were tossed around, and hangars were leveled. A medical helicopter was badly damaged, with its blades bent and rear torn open. Witnesses reported the tornado’s destruction happening rapidly, likening the sound to a freight train. While some homes were untouched, many others were heavily damaged. The tight-knit community, with a population of about 7,600, is coming together to support those affected, providing supplies and helping neighbors in need during this challenging time. The recovery could take weeks or months.

Getting very hot and humid this weekend
SUMMARY: This weekend will be very hot and humid, with temperatures rising from 93°F on Saturday to 97°F by Tuesday. While Louisville won’t have a heat advisory, nearby counties and parts of Indiana will, some even reaching excessive heat warnings with temperatures near 100°F. A strong upper-level high pressure is causing a heat dome over much of the central and eastern U.S., pushing cool air into Canada and trapping the heat here. Humidity will make it feel hotter, so staying hydrated, using sunblock, and wearing light clothing is essential. Events like the Saint Matthews Summer Fest will be warm and muggy, continuing through next week.
