FRANKFORT, Ky. — Howling winds gusting over 60 mph knocked out power for tens of thousands of Kentuckians Thursday as the entire state remained under a wind advisory.

As of 3:30 p.m. Thursday, over 28,000 outages had been reported by various energy providers, according to poweroutage.us.

Gusts rolled in after a strong cold front moved through this morning, bringing winds forecasted to last throughout the day. They're forecasted to die down later Thursday evening.

Forecasts were predicting wind gusts in the 50 mph range, but several areas surpassed that: Crestview recorded 60 mph gusts, Lexington reported 65 mph gusts and Frankfort saw gusts eclipsing 70 mph.
