No reports of any injuries. Several tornado touchdowns throughout the city. Churchill Downs and Central Avenue near Papa John's Cardinal stadium have damage. Approximately 40 light pools down and several roofs blown off buildings.

That's about the same thing that happened here a few weeks back... I have been on this earth a long time and I will tell you I have never seen or heard golf ball size hail. It sounded like the earth was coming to an end! Between the house and cars, the noise was deafening. I cannot imagine what it is like in a war zone...
Glad to hear everyone is ok!

The first warning only lasted about 5 minutes and the weathermen were like scratching their heads because they were not seeing anything severe about the storms. Then everything intensified and the damage occured. The storms continued to fire up in the same areas.
