2nd line going through south IL, tor warnings for WILLIAMSON...UNION AND JOHNSON counties, funnel spotted by trained spotter

After witnessing the continued decrease of involvement in the SpotterNetwork staff in serving SN members with troubleshooting issues recently, I have unilaterally decided to terminate the relationship between SpotterNetwork's support and Stormtrack. I have witnessed multiple users unable to receive support weeks after initiating help threads on the forum. I find this lack of response from SpotterNetwork officials disappointing and a failure to hold up their end of the agreement that was made years ago, before I took over management of this site. In my opinion, having Stormtrack users sit and wait for so long to receive help on SpotterNetwork issues on the Stormtrack forums reflects poorly not only on SpotterNetwork, but on Stormtrack and (by association) me as well. Since the issue has not been satisfactorily addressed, I no longer wish for the Stormtrack forum to be associated with SpotterNetwork.
I apologize to those who continue to have issues with the service and continue to see their issues left unaddressed. Please understand that the connection between ST and SN was put in place long before I had any say over it. But now that I am the "captain of this ship," it is within my right (nay, duty) to make adjustments as I see necessary. Ending this relationship is such an adjustment.
For those who continue to need help, I recommend navigating a web browswer to SpotterNetwork's About page, and seeking the individuals listed on that page for all further inquiries about SpotterNetwork.
From this moment forward, the SpotterNetwork sub-forum has been hidden/deleted and there will be no assurance that any SpotterNetwork issues brought up in any of Stormtrack's other sub-forums will be addressed. Do not rely on Stormtrack for help with SpotterNetwork issues.
Sincerely, Jeff D.

My friend just came by the trailer park down there in the Benton area of Western KY. Trailers destroyed...pieces in the roadway - lot of emergency vehicles. Businesses damaged in Benton, Kentucky.
So far no reports of damage in Paducah.

Dang, 3 evenly spaced low-level couplets at the same time not that far from one another.

Forgive the vanity, but this hasn't even hit the news networks yet. My mother just called from the shores of Kentucky Lake in Marshall Co. Kentucky. All the homes she can walk to are flattened. She said she could see all the way across the Lake inlet because there wasn't a tree left standing. A tornado has been confirmed to be on the ground in Benton, Ky. Possible damage to Marshall Co High School. Severe damage and the narrow roads now blocked by trees are hampering EMS response. My 50 year old mother is digging through debris while my grandmother sits by the cell phone and answers anxious calls from family. Several family members have not check in yet.

Very strong couplet just east of Dawson Springs, KY in southern Hopkins County. It's really ramped up in the last few scans.

The storm that moved through Marshall co, KY, through the town of Benton, etc has been incredible. Awesome low-level meso when it was in Marshall county, then it appears as though it occluded as another meso developed to it's south as it moved through Benton. The meso with the same storm, located just sw of Madisonville KY, is VERY intense. I wouldn't be surprise dto see a couple of >30 mile long tornadoes with this storm.

That storm S of Bloomington is very impressive with long lasting rotation of +90kts G2G. If it shifts a little north Nashville, IN may be in trouble.

Tornado reported on the ground southwest of the town of Columbus, Kentucky, moving east at 50 mph. The town of Mayfield is in the direct path of this tornado. And then the storm is going to head in the general direction of Benton, which just got obliterated a short time ago. The storm has incredible radar presentation and a neat little shear couplet with it. Another nasty, potentially tornadic cell with a developing hook echo has just crossed the Mississippi and is headed towards Paducah. It is a very grim situation.

The one thing I have learned in this tornado outbreak is that I really cannot stand Chad Meyers from CNN. Man...take some qaludes dude.

Another 100 knt couplet very near Madisonville (Hopkins Co), KY. Sigh. Watching this unfold and hearing these reports, I suddenly feel sick to my stomach. I've never seen anything like this. And I just feel enormously helpless, as I know homes are being destroyed and people killed, and there's nothing any of us can do about it.

The couplet was nearly right on top of Earlington, KY and then very close to Madisonville, KY. I wouldn't be terribly suprised if some damage reports come in.
Edit: Im terribly impressed with that cell nearing Nashville, IN. I just checked and it has had a large couplet of 90-100kts g2g in all scans except one for the last sixty minutes.
