At least one person is dead and multiple people have been injured as severe weather swept through Kentucky on Friday, authorities said.<\/p>\n

The Washington County Sheriff’s Office reported a fatality and multiple injuries, with “severe damage” throughout the county from a possible tornado.<\/p>\n

“This is located in the remote part of the county, so it was a small area hit, but it was devastating,” Washington County Judge\/Executive Tim Graves said during a news briefing on Friday.<\/p>\n

Seven people were injured, including four from one home, Washington County officials said. Their conditions were not immediately known.<\/p>\n

A possible tornado was reported in Washington County on Friday, Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear said on social media<\/a>, adding that the “level of severe weather was unexpected.”<\/p>\n

The county started getting emergency calls starting shortly after 7 a.m., according to Kevin Devine with Washington County Emergency Management.<\/p>\n

Three people, including a 3-year-old, were initially reported missing, though they have all since been located, Devine said. The child was transported to a local hospital, while the other two brought themselves to a hospital, he said.<\/p>\n

Several homes were damaged, he said, noting damage assessments are still underway.<\/p>\n
