This special USA situation report provides detailed state summaries for storms, tornadoes, straight line winds and flooding for the past 90 days across the United States.
According to the National Weather Service, there were nearly 4,400 individual reports of severe weather reported in May alone. These included tornadoes, hail and straight-line winds, and was the highest recorded since May since 2011. Record-breaking rainfall in Oklahoma and Kansas resulted in historic flooding throughout the Arkansas River Basin, along with remnant flooding in the Missouri and Mississippi River. Record rainfall swamped the south-central U.S. over the past few weeks, leading to catastrophic flooding along the Arkansas River in both Oklahoma and Arkansas. In several locations, the river was at its highest level ever recorded, including Fort Smith, Arkansas basins. Map

General Summary:
As of June 7, 2019 there are 57 of the 120 counties in Kentucky that have received a Presidential disaster declaration.
In early April, Gov. Matt Bevin sent a letter requesting a Presidential Disaster Declaration for 58 Kentucky counties that were impacted during a severe weather event in February and March. The system produced extended episodes of strong winds and torrential rain which caused flooding, flash flooding, landslides, and mudslides. The weather system caused over $41 million in damages statewide, the majority of that related to highways, bridges, and utility infrastructure. Three Kentuckians lost their lives during this event, along with many minor injuries.
Severe storms in February increased water levels at dams in central and western Kentucky, resulting in record water releases at Wolf Creek Dam in Jamestown that have caused flooding. The Kentucky Division of Emergency Management has received state of emergency declarations from 36 counties and 11 cities. Flood Map

Tornado Summary
During the tornado outbreak of May 27-28, 2019, there were 21 tornadoes reported across Ohio including one F4, three F3, and three F2 tornadoes. Damage summaries from the National Weather Service can be found here. Below is a summary is only for the F4 Brookville tornado.
The largest tornado initially touched down just west of Brookville. Numerous homes suffered significant roof damage and removal, with exterior wall collapse, and complete garage destruction. The tornado then carved a path east through Trotwood where damage consistent with EF2 wind speeds was widespread, with some homes sustaining damage consistent with EF3 wind speeds which again featured roof removal and exterior wall collapse. This was particularly true on the south side of Westbrook Road. A large number of homes and apartment complexes were impacted further east in Trotwood, most of this damage consistent with high-end EF2 wind speeds.
The tornado continued southeast through Dayton and Northridge, crossing I-75 and into the Old North Dayton Area, where heavy damage continued to homes and businesses. Based on additional information received via Dayton Skywarn and the Red Cross, it is believed the tornado continued further to the southeast, causing damage in a subdivision north of Burkhardt Road. The roof of an apartment building on Dodge Ct was removed. This is the final known damage caused by this tornado.
The survey team noted hundreds of homes, businesses, and apartment complexes and thousands of trees along the path sustaining moderate to heavy damage, and in particular the width of the
tornado along much of this path was up to or perhaps in excess of a 1/2 mile which led to an extremely devastating damage footprint across Montgomery County.
