BOWLING GREEN, Ky. (WBKO) - The Bowling Green area is seeing significant damage after a potential tornado moved through the area early morning.
According to Western Kentucky University, emergency crews are assessing significant storm damage and the university is in contact with all residential staff. There have not been any injuries reported on campus at this time.
Bowling Green Police say all agencies in the city and county are responding to damage at this time.
Police say several warehouses at the Industrial Park are “completely collapsed.” Power is out at the park which makes it difficult to see anything at this time.

Prayers sent
Been watching all night. Really bad. My prayers to all affected!
Storm system still going.
National Weather Service is seeing three possible tornadoes on radar - one in Hendersonville, one in western Mount Juliet and one in Hermitage.(Tennessee)
Wow. Prayers for tornadoes alley.
A tornado watch has been issued for parts of Alabama, Mississippi and Tennessee until 11 AM CST
For the record, we just got heavy rain in Lexington.
Bkmk
Ellooooo..... I’m in Decatur, Alabama. The temperature feels like the tropics out here. Got nothing but wind gusts most the night so far...say 20-40mph...and the real nasty stuff looks to be about an hour west of me at the rate its moving. Doppler is showing a pretty good line of red heading right for us.
Risk for tornadoes should be lower at this time of day, but don’t take any chances.
Keep us posted on how you make out.
We are looking at freezing rain and ice. Not nearly as destructive as what the heartland has gotten, but still, ice is dangerous. Fortunately, we have the generator ready to fire up.
Tornadoes that come from storm systems caused by fronts colliding can come anytime. Usually the tornadoes caused by daytime heating-caused coalescing thunderheads come later afternoon to night.
Look up a frightening account of the 1999 Jarrell, TX tornado, considered the most powerful ever. A gravity wave in the atmosphere sent this horrible tornado roughly SE to NW.
I’m in Hendersonville. It’s quiet now.
It’s expected to arrive at 2PM today. Badly needed rain. Our issue is fires. Tornados are extremely rare here
Hurm. Heading my way.
We got VERY heavy rain. Significantly cooler now.
I know they do, but daytime heating always influences the strength of t-storms and hence tornado development.
We’re getting rain right now here in NH. It was icing for a while, and still might be until the surfaces warm to above freezing. I hope it’s soon. There are lots of trees here and we lose power rather easily.
The destruction from this outbreak is horrific and all the worse with winter on top of us.
It’s going to be very difficult cleaning up after this and rebuilding is going to go slowly. Lots of people are going to need places to stay.
Absolutely.
