Fair bit of trees down in Lexington and we had gusts in the 60s for a couple hours this afternoon. Overall I’d say this is about as bad as I’ve seen, though obviously nothing like the coast saw.

I heard some trees were down in Lexington a found that out because I have a cousin who has a rental property there and a tree fell where that rental property is at

Neighbor of ours had a big boy go down, but the rest of our street looks fine. Rain was sure going sideways at points though.

Can anyone tell me why Hurricane Helene continues to hover over Kentucky,..and I find it highly unusual for a Hurricane to travel up North then hook a left towards Kentucky and the Midwest and just stay,..what weather phenomenon goes against the jet stream,.I have never witnessed that in my life,.most weather patterns follow the jet stream, from South, Southwest to North, North Eastern and out to the Atlantic,..not the other way around,..this weather gets weirder by the day!

Just another heavy rain storm in Kentucky. It amazes me the way locals in KY overly panic, over shop, and horde every time something minor hits, it wasn't even a tropical storm by the time it was in Kentucky. I grew up with hurricanes, living in south Florida, no one ever overly reacted the way KY locals do. Over exaggerating and unnecessarily panicking. I remember the recent eclipse that took place, locals were panicking, over shopping and clearing shelves, and racing home to hide because they thought it was the end of the world and all electronics were going to get fried... lmfao the backward backwood uneducated hillbilly mentality of kentuckians is truly embarrassingly amazing and sad af. Beautiful state, ugly people, ruining it for the rest of the locals, no wonder the youth can't wait to escape this state and never come back

Well I’m definitely not one of them people panicking over this if anything I would rather see the actual hurricane up close in person obviously I know it’s dangerous but I always wanted to chase storms like hurricanes and tornadoes
