A line of storms moving through western Kentucky on Thursday night packed wind gusts up to 60 miles per hour that caused scattered damage to property and brought down trees and power lines.

The roof was blown off a barn on Phelps Road in southeast Ballard County.

Power lines came down on a home and trees were downed on Strathmoor Drive in Paducah. Power outages were reported on N. 8th Street in Paducah and in the St. Johns community of McCracken County.
  
Power was out in the Cunningham area and northwest of Bardwell, with reports of trees down in both areas.

Trees and power lines down across Graves County, including in the Folsomdale, Hickory, and Viola areas. 

 Hail as large as 7/10s of an inch was reported in Calloway County.

The storms had already moved through southeast Missouri and southern Illinois. 66-mph winds were measured at Cape Girardeau and winds estimated at 70 mph were reported along I-55 in Missouri. A house in Scott County reportedly lost its roof.
