KY's first tornado to be ranked on NOAA's new enhanced Fujita Scale (Todd Co. on March 1st) 1-3" of Snow on Third Weekend of February Drought-busting record Oct. Rains June 23rd Severe Outbreak (8 reports of hail/damaging winds in WBKO viewing area) June 8th Severe Outbreak (7 reports of hail/damaging winds in WBKO viewing area) I asked my colleagues, Chris Allen and Matt Stephens, to assist me in picking the year's top weather events. Now before I get into who placed what event in what number, I should stress that there is a good bit of subjectivity involved in the individual ratings. Think of two NFL referees making a call on a big play...one thinking "touchdown" while the other contends the player may have been "out of bounds".

Small is big at Phila. auto show
The concept cars, the hybrids, the Hummers, the ultra-luxury vehicles, the ubiquitous SUVs and minivans all got their due. But the car that seemed to truly capture the imagination yesterday at the Philadelphia International Auto Show was the itty-bitty Smart Fortwo, which has been available in the United States for less than a month. "Is this the line to sit in it?" asked Robin Emrick of Bensalem. There was no line, just a steady throng of people three deep milling around the two-seater, photographing it, marveling at it, lifting its hatchback, and sitting in it, in some cases, rather snugly. "It's a little shocking to me," said Raymond James, a brand specialist at the Smart Center in Cherry Hill. "I knew it would be popular, but I didn't think we'd be the hit of the show." Curiosity, not car lust, seemed to be the prevailing mood.
Abington hospital moves patients after smoky odor
Ten patients at Abington Memorial Hospital were relocated to another building yesterday after a "smoky" smell was detected on a maternity floor. The fire department was called at 3:17 p.m. after sparks from workers' tools landed in some insulation and smoldered, causing the smell, according to hospital officials. The workers were installing a heating and air-conditioning unit in the basement of the Highland Building. The patients were on the second floor. There were no injuries and the move was precautionary, according to hospital officials. - Mari A. Schaefer .
