Researchers have spent two decades restoring native wetlands in southern Kentucky, and with them the white fringeless orchid. But those efforts were disrupted when an EF4 tornado swept through the area in May 2025, carving visible lines in the landscape.

Last weekend was the first anniversary of a tornado that devastated communities in southern Kentucky. A Day of Remembrance event in Laurel County on Saturday honored those who lost their lives and reflected on a year of recovery.

In May 2025, an EF4 tornado struck Somerset, Kentucky, damaging parts of the city. A local church and a rural electric cooperative have since celebrated reconstruction milestones.

The shelter was built for the community of Stamping Ground and can house more than 90 people. It was constructed in response to an unexpected tornado that dropped in December of 2021.
