SPRINGFIELD, Ky. (AP) — The National Weather Service issued tornado warnings for parts of Kentucky, Tennessee, West Virginia and Virginia on Friday, hours after a harsh storm hit a remote area of central Kentucky, killing one person and injuring seven others.McCarty’s home was the only one destroyed, though another 10 residences suffered damage, authorities said.

McCarty said his family used to enjoy living under the flight path so they could watch the planes pass overhead.“Us and our kids would sit on our front porch and we’d look up and my sons would always be excited saying ‘plane plane’ watching the planes go by and ironically right where we were sitting is where that plane hit,” McCarty said.

Now, he wants to move.“I’m not going to live over that flight line again — it’s going to be hard to sleep at night,” McCarty said.
