For them to keep the tornado emergency going means that they probably have confirmation from spotters that a very large and destructive tornado is on the ground.

WMC reporting damage at Union University, a local hospital, and high school in N Jackson. Sounds bad.

If that can get worse in spring. I believe not. Count should easily take the 70

Tornado passing near or very close to Central City, KY

NWS Memphis IMO is abusing the "Tornado Emergency" a little bit. 4 in one day??? Up until last year thats about the number of Tornado Emergencies ever issued.

No, just according to doppler radar, the couplet was centered pretty much right over the city. Whether a tornado actually went through will need to be confirmed, but radar strongly indicates that a strong tornado has passed through Huntingdon or very close to it.
