EP 143: Special Edition - Disaster and Response: Inside Kentucky’s Storm Aftermath and the Acts of Good Program

In the aftermath of the devastating EF-4 tornado that recently swept through Kentucky, Mosheh visits the hardest-hit areas to document the extensive damage and speak directly with residents impacted by the storms. In this special two-part edition of the Mo News podcast, Part 1 features firsthand accounts from London, Kentucky, where 19 people were killed and hundreds of homes and businesses were destroyed. Survivors share their harrowing experiences, losses, and how their community is rallying together in the aftermath. Part 2 provides a behind-the-scenes look at disaster relief operations through the Acts of Good and Tide Loads of Hope programs based in Cincinnati. Filmed shortly before the Kentucky visit, this segment offered crucial context and insight into the outreach and recovery efforts observed on the ground in Kentucky. Mosh highlights the practical aid being provided to victims, including laundry services, showers, hygiene kits, and cleaning supplies delivered through P&G’s Tide Loads of Hope mobile laundry unit. This episode is sponsored by Procter & Gamble and was produced in partnership with Matthew 25 Ministries and the Tide Loads of Hope program. -- Mosheh Oinounou (⁠@mosheh⁠) is an Emmy and Murrow award-winning journalist.
