Kentucky Transportation Cabinet highway crews were out responding to storm damage in several District 1 & District 2 Counties across Western Kentucky this morning.

According to highway crews from early reports, Webster County and McLean County appeared to have been the hardest hit.

Officials in Mclean County reported closing KY 1-40 and KY 2-56 due to power lines and power poles being down along those roadways.

Meanwhile, the Webster County Highway Maintenance facility reported crews were out removing debris from highways at various locations throughout the county.

In addition, officials in Calloway County reported water being over highways due to flash flooding at numerous locations.
Crews are urging motorists to use appropriate caution today as they drive on area roads and highways with storm debris.
