Updated: 1 person dies in severe Kentucky storms. Multiple tornadoes confirmed

One person in Kentucky was killed Wednesday as a result of severe storms, according to Gov. Andy Beshear.

The death was reported in Louisville, Beshear said. Preliminary assessments by the National Weather Service determined that at least an EF-1 tornado with estimated wind speeds of 110 mph hit the Pleasant Ridge Park area of central Jefferson County Wednesday.

“Kentucky, please join Britainy and me as we pray for this family,” Beshear said in a tweet.

An additional tornado touched down in Meade County, according to the NWS. Surveyors determined an EF-1 tornado with wind speeds up to 110 mph hit the area of Joe Prather Highway and Cedar Line Road near Brandenburg.

The NWS said damage surveys will continue Thursday. Officials will inspect areas of Hardin, Jefferson and Meade counties to see if the damage there was caused by tornadoes.

The Kentucky Red Cross shared photos of heavy damage to an apartment complex on Brooklawn Drive in Louisville. The Red Cross said nine workers were assisting people at that complex and it would have shelters on standby for storm damage victims.

Damage was also reported out of Hickman County. The Hickman County Emergency Management Agency said 12 structures were damaged by the storm, which included a completely-destroyed poultry barn and two campers that were hit by fallen trees.
