Governor Beshear has declared a state of emergency as a dangerous weather system is moving through the state this afternoon through tonight.
Strong winds, hail, flooding, and tornadoes are possible across much of Kentucky.
The Governor has activated the Kentucky Emergency Operations Center, and units from the Kentucky National Guard are standing by to respond.
Kentucky Transportation Cabinet officials and crews are also on alert, and local emergency management leaders are working to keep Kentuckians informed.
Governor Beshear has also implemented the state’s price gouging laws to protect Kentuckians from overpriced goods and services as they clean up and recover from the storms.
Consumers should report price gouging to the Office of the Attorney General.
