Florence Storm: Tornado or Not

A powerful storm hit Butler County, and while Florence, Kentucky, suffered massive damage with roofs torn off and trees smashed through buildings, experts say it’s not yet confirmed whether a tornado was responsible.

Final confirmation could take days as scientists piece together the evidence to get it right. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
