Severe storms in northern Kentucky, have left widespread damage, including power outages, downed trees, and traffic disruptions, prompting cleanup efforts across the city. The National Weather Service is expected to survey the area today to assess the damage and determine whether a tornado touched down.Florence, KY damagePhotos and videos show downed trees and power lines throughout Florence, with many businesses closed and police using cruiser batteries to operate traffic lights. Drone footage shows damage along Dream Street, including a utility pole snapped nearly in half near the Joseph Cadillac car dealership, held up by power lines. At the Village of Cross Creek Apartments off Industrial Road, roofs were damaged, and numerous trees were downed. Amanda Palmer, property manager at the complex, described the extent of the damage. “Oh, there’s so much damage. We’re set out almost 40 acres here, and there’s literally a tree down, like every ten feet; so, or branches and it’s pretty scary. So I’m glad everyone’s okay,” Palmer said. Evan Holsopple, a maintenance expert at the apartments, emphasized the challenges of cleanup. “Just asking everybody to be careful and watch out for debris. But, yeah, everything is going together pretty good. It’s just – it’s a lot because you’re so scattered trying to figure out everything from every angle,” Holsopple said. Industrial Road, a busy stretch connecting parts of Erlanger and Independence to the Florence Mall and Costco, remains affected by power outages. Traffic lights are out, turning intersections into four-way stops, requiring drivers to stay alert to avoid accidents. Officials are urging residents to prioritize safety until cleanup efforts are completed.Falmouth, KY damageA storm swept through Pendleton County, Kentucky, early in the morning, leaving widespread destruction in its wake. Trees are down everywhere, but in some areas, the damage is even worse. Cars that were parked in a garage are now scattered across a field, with debris stretching about 200 yards. Not far away, a barn was obliterated. Efforts are underway to move straw and hay into another barn, while workers carefully untangle tractors and farm equipment from the lumber to avoid further damage. Several homes sustained heavy roof damage. In one neighborhood, three homes close to each other had parts of their roofs ripped off. The fallen trees have also caused power outages throughout the area. Most of Falmouth has been without electricity since the storm rolled through just after 4 a.m.
