Busted Severe event for West KY 22

The severe event busted in West KY 22. It is very complicated but CAP a warm layer of air prevented development in the afternoon. The biggest problem in my mind was the Shear was so great that it chopped up the storm tops before they could become perfectly organized. This is the big reason why this event didnt live up to the hype in West KY.

A tad bit less shear but still very good shear, and a perfect combo of the other 3 parameters set up a Severe Thunderstorm Outbreak in Mid TN where an EF-3 tornado hit Lawrence and Giles county TN damaging upwards to 60 homes and destroying a few. Poss tornadic damage occured in Dickson and Warren COunty TN also and severe other severe reports occured in Mid Tn. Also an isolated tornado, big hail, damaging winds occured in parts of the Louisville and Jackson KY CWA
