Lots of Wall Clouds from the Remnants of Beryl

As bands of showers and storms developed Tuesday afternoon and evening, several people submitted photos of wall clouds and potential funnel clouds. There were multiple rotating showers and storms, and fortunately little in the way of tornado touchdowns across central Kentucky and our part of southern IN.

Based on the lack of damage reports received into the office so far, and looking at the various images below, one can see why tornado chasing in Kentucky and southern IN can be a difficult endeavor. Lots of trees and ridge lines as well as winding roads make it hard to follow one storm easily. Those trees and ridges on the horizon also can make it seem like a rotating wall cloud actually is a big tornado, when in fact it hasn't connected with the ground!

Here's a good sampling of the imagery either submitted into NWS Louisville or via local traffic cams and various TV media online webcams.
