The National Weather Service (click title to entry - thank you) in Paducah says an EF2 tornado hit the Hopkins County, Kentucky, community of White Plains.
Investigators say the twister hit around 8:25 Sunday evening. It had top wind speeds of 120 miles per hour, and it was on the ground for about one-third of a mile.
There are no major injuries associated with the tornado, but it destroyed one frame home and one mobile home, and it damaged several other buildings and knocked over some large trees.

Photographer states: The drought continues to devastate Central Texas. This is the usually pristine and flowing Barton Creek that has been reduced to a small hole of water. Adam and I walked a mile or so of the creek and we only found two holes such as this with water remaining.
"The primary message of the 2012 (Texas) state water plan is a simple one," the introduction states. "In serious drought conditions, Texas does not and will not have enough water to meet the needs of its people, and its businesses, and its agricultural enterprises."
