| Episode narrativeepisode_narrative | A morning ice storm produced around a quarter inch of ice west of Kentucky Lake and from Paducah to Henderson. Ice caused numerous traffic accidents, especially on secondary roads. The temperature warmed above freezing by noon, changing the freezing rain to plain rain. In McCracken County alone, there were at least 18 non-injury accidents from 7 A.M. to noon. Many schools, churches, businesses, and government offices were closed. Local hospitals in the Paducah area reported a sharp increase in weather-related injuries, especially slips, falls, and accidents. Western Baptist Hospital reported four wrist fractures due to slips and falls. |
