The National Weather Service in Louisville, Kentucky needs to
know what's going on in your home town! We'd like as
much detail as possible, especially if you've experienced
tornadoes, wall clouds, funnel clouds, high wind, wind damage,
hail, lightning damage, heavy snow, sleet or freezing rain,
heavy rain, flooding, dense fog, or any other unusual
weather phenomena. This information is extremely important and
will be used for verification and training purposes so that we
may provide more accurate warnings and forecasts in the
future. With all of the technology that we now possess, your
reliable storm reports still are perhaps our greatest asset.
