Wayne Hart from Evansville is counting up warnings for his area which includes many of our Northwest KY counties here is the count using IEM bot for the Western KY 22. Only the major events. The Warnings that Western KY has been under. Not the amount of counties inculded but the actual amount of warning polygons. Just for fun a comparison of a few past severe weather events.

Tornado Warnings: 7
Severe Thunderstorm Warnings: 3

Late April Flooding/Severe Weather: (Doesn't inculde the many River Flood Warnings across all of the Ohio, MS, Green,LBL areas). Remember this was a multi-day event so it would be best on the severe weather front to compare to May 2003 instead of a one or two day event.

Severe Thunderstorm Warnings: 37
Flash Flood Warnings: 21
This is likely the most active Severe Weather Warning week or period in Western KY history.

March, 1st, 1997 Flooding and Severe WX(inculdes warnings starting on the 28th going to the 2nd). Remember Flash Flood Warning policy was much different on 1997 they didn't issue a lot of blanket Flash Flood Warnings. If the 2011 event if it was in 1997 would have more Flash Flood Warnings than the 1997 event did because the Flash Flooding was more widespread and drawn over more days.
Tornado Warnings: 5
Severe Thunderstorm Warnings: 6
Flash Flood Warnings: 41
May 4th-11th 2003 Sequence:
Tornado Warnings: 29
Severe Thunderstorm Warnings: 31
Flash Flood Warnings: 4
