CLEAN UP CONTINUES ACROSS
KENTUCKY TODAY AFTER HEAVY RAIN
CAUSED FLOODING AND CLAIMED THE
LIVES OF SEVEN PEOPLE.
AT LEAST 70 COUNTIES DECLARED A
(01:41):
STATE OF EMERGENCY LAST WEEK.
TODAY THE KENTUCKY
TRANSPORTATION CABINET REPORTS
MORE THAN 200 ROADS ARE STILL
BLOCKED BECAUSE OF FLOODING
MOSTLY IN WESTERN KENTUCKY.
SINCE THE FLOODING BEGAN, THE
AMERICAN RED CROSS HAS HAD BOOTS
ON THE GROUND COORDINATING
DISASTER RELIEF.
LAST WEEK "KENTUCKY EDITION"
TAGGED ALONG WITH SOME
(02:02):
VOLUNTEERS TO GET A CROZIER LOOK
AT THE FIRST STEPS ON THE ROAD
TO RECOVERY.
>> THIS ONE IS MORE DRASTIC, I
THINK BECAUSE IT IS A PROLONGED
FLOOD.
SOMETHING THAT IS GOING TO BE UP
FOR TWO OR THREE DAYS AND PEOPLE
ARE ANXIOUS TO GET BACK INTO
THEIR HOMES TO SEE WHAT THEY
HAVE TO DO TO GET ON THE ROAD TO
(02:24):
RECOVERY.
A LOT HAVE NOT SPRNSED THIS.
THEY WILL BE IN THE DARK AND
THAT IS WHERE THE RED CROSS WILL
STEP IN AND HELP AND HELP WITH
THE CASE WORK AND TRY TO GET
THEM GOING IN THE RIGHT
DIRECTION FOR THEIR RECOVERY.
>> WHAT WE FOCUS ARE NEEDS,
MAKING SURE PEOPLE HAVE A SAFE
PLACE TO STAY THAT WARM MEAL.
(02:45):
SOME PLACE THEY CAN GO DURING
THE DAY IF THEY ARE CLEANING UP,
CHARGE THEIR PHONE, TAKE A
BREAK.
CURRENTLY WE HAVE CLOSE TO 400
RED CROSS VOLUNTEERS AND
RESPONDERS ON THE GROUND ACROSS
KENTUCKY FROM PADUCAH AND
BOWLING GREEN TO LOUISVILLE AND
FRANKFORT.
REALLY JUST BEING OUT IN THE
COMMUNITY HELPING SUPPORT OUR
(03:06):
NEIGHBORS, OPERATING OVER A
DOZEN SHELTERS JUST TO MAKE SURE
PEOPLE HAVE SOMEWHERE SAFE TO
STAY AND A WARM MEAL TO EAT AND
CHARGE THEIR PHONE, AS THEY
FIGURE OUT THEIR NEXT STEPS.
SINCE THE FLOODS, HIT WE HAVE
BEEN ON THE GROUND OFFERING
SHELTER, WE PREPOSITIONED
SUPPLIES BEFORE THE RAINS
(03:27):
STARTED.
BEFORE THE RAINS STARTED WE HAVE
WORKED WITH LOCAL PARTNERS TO
IDENTIFY SHELTERING LOCATIONS.
REALLY WHATEVER WE CAN DO TO
HELP SUPPORT OUR COMMUNITIES.
AFTER WE'LL WORK WITH THE LOCAL
COMMUNITIES, IDENTIFY THEIR
NEEDS AND DO OUR BEST TO SUPPORT
THEM AS THEY WORK ON THEIR ROAD
(03:50):
TO RECOVERY.
AND THAT CAN DIFFER DEPENDING ON
THE PERSON AND DEPENDING ON THE
COMMUNITY.
>> LOUISVILLE IS CENTRAL
KENTUCKY WE HAVE WESTERN
KENTUCKY.
WESTERN KENTUCKY ALL THE STUFF
IN LOUISVILLE HAS TO GO DOWN TO
PADUCAH.
SO IT'S WIDESPREAD.
NOT ONLY DO YOU HAVE TO CONTEND
WITH THE RIVER AND THE KENTUCKY
RIVER YOU HAVE TO CONTEND WITH
THE STREAMS GOING INTO THAT.
(04:12):
SO, YOU KNOW, THIS IS A
WIDESPREAD OPERATION IT'S
COVERING JUST ABOUT THE WHOLE
STATE.
QUITE A FEW HOMES THAT WATER'S
SIX, SEVEN FEET INSIDE THE
HOMES.
AND YOU KNOW, A LOT OF AREAS ARE
STILL INACCESSIBLE BECAUSE OF
THE HIGH WALLET ACROSS THE
ROADS.
WATER ACROSS THE ROADS.
THE DAMAGE IS OUT THERE WE HAVE
(04:32):
TO FIND IT.
>> 90% OF OUR WORKFORCE ARE
VOLUNTEERS THESE ARE PEOPLE THAT
PUT THEIR PERSONAL LIVES ON HOLD
AND JUST WHEN A DISASTER HAPPENS
THEY COME, THEY SHOW UP.
THEY FAN OUT INTO THE COMMUNITY
TO HELP WHEREVER THE NEED IS.
AND THEY STAY USUALLY FOR TWO
(04:53):
WEEKS AT A TIME SOMETIMES LODGER
SUPPORTING COMMUNITIES IN NEED.
>> I'VE TAKEN SO MUCH OUT OF MY
COMMUNITY AND I WANT TO GIVE
BACK AND MAKE SURE THEY HAVE A
LITTLE BIT OF LIGHT AT THE END
OF THE TUNNEL.
IF I CAN DO THAT IN ANYWAY SHAPE
OR FORM THEN I'VE DONE MY JOB.
AND THANK GOODNESS FOR
THEM.

RIVERS, UNIQUE SINK HOLES AND

WHICH CREATE A FLOOD RISK.
>> THE BIGGEST ISSUE TODAY IS
THE GROUND WATER SYSTEM WHICH IS
A CARS TOPOGRAPHY AND GRAVES AND
STREAMS.

WESTERN PART OF THE STATE.
FOLKS TOWARDS CAIRO AND PADUCAH

WILL GET OUT OF HERE AND BE
GONE.
THIS WAS A MAJOR SYSTEM,
HISTORIC FLOOD, EIGHTH HIGHEST
CREST IN LOUISVILLE AND MOVING

AWAY SLOWLY.
>> VERY SLOWLY.
I MEAN, IN PORTIONS OF WESTERN
KENTUCKY THOSE RIVERS EVEN THE

DAYS AGO?
THAT TOOK A LONGTIME.
BUT WHICH AREA OF THE STATE
RECEIVED THE MOST RAIN ON THAT
WEEKEND?
>> DAWSON SPRINGS, GRAVES COUNTY

TOOK THE MOST.
IMAGINE THAT KENTUCKY MESONET
15-AND-A-HALF INCHES AND AS FAR
AS WHY IT HAPPENED SOMETIMES
THERE'S BACK WATER WITH THE
MISSISSIPPI WITH THE OHIO AND
THE WATER TAKES FOREVER TO GET
OUT OF THERE.

NOW, FOR AREAS WHERE THE RIVERS
HAVE ALREADY CRESTED, THOSE
WATER LEVELS ARE GOING DOWN,
RECEDING, BUT THOUSAND THERE'S

WHY A KENTUCKY

OUR TOBY GIBBS HAS THAT AND MORE
IN THIS LOOK BACK AT THIS WEEK
IN KENTUCKY HISTORY.
[♪♪]
>> KENTUCKY ADOPTED ITS FIRST
CONSTITUTION ON APRIL 19TH,
1792.
THAT PAVED THE WAY FOR KENTUCKY
(24:13):
TO BECOME AMERICA'S 15TH STATE
ON JUNE 1ST OF THAT YEAR.
KENTUCKY'S 21ST GOVERNOR, BERIAH
MAGOFFIN, WAS BORN APRIL 18TH,
1815 IN HARRODSBURG AND HE WOULD
SERVE UNTIL 862.
IN 1861 WHEN PRESIDENT ABRAHAM
LINCOLN CALLED FOR TROOPS TO PUT
(24:35):
DOWN THE SOUTHERN REBELLION, HE
REFUSED TO PROVIDE ANY AND
REFUSED TO PROVIDE FOR THE
CONFEDERACY AFTER THE ASSEMBLY
VOTED TO KEEP KENTUCKY NEUTRAL.
WHEN THEY CAPTURED TWO-THIRDS OF
A MAJORITY, BERIAH MAGOFFIN
RESIGNED AS THE GOVERNOR.
HE IS THE NAMESAKE FOR MAGOFFIN
(24:56):
COUNTY.
PRESIDENT LINCOLN THE ONLY
KENTUCKY BORN PRESIDENT WAS SHOT
IN FORD'S LITERS IN WASHINGTON
D.C. ON APRIL 14TH, 1865 AND
DIED THE NEXT MORNING.
WORKERS LAID THE LAST RAIL LINE
ON THE SHORT LINE RAILROAD
BETWEEN LOUISVILLE AND COVINGTON
ON APRIL 18TH, 1869.
(25:16):
THE FULL PROJECT COST ALMOST $4
MILLION.
THE TITANIC SANK ON APRIL 15TH,
1912 AND THERE WERE THREE PEOPLE
ONBOARD WITH KENTUCKY TIES.
GEORGETOWN NATIVE CHARLES
ROMAINE AND LUTIE DAVIS PARRISH

GOOD EVENING.
AND WELCOME TO "KENTUCKY
EDITION" ON THIS BRANDS NEW WEEK
IT IS MONDAY, APRIL THE 14TH,
I'M RENEE SHAW AND WE THANK YOU
FOR STARTING OFF YOUR MONDAY
NIGHT WITH US.
CLEAN UP CONTINUES ACROSS
KENTUCKY TODAY AFTER HEAVY RAIN
CAUSED FLOODING AND CLAIMED THE
LIVES OF SEVEN PEOPLE.
AT LEAST 70 COUNTIES DECLARED A
(01:41):
STATE OF EMERGENCY LAST WEEK.
TODAY THE KENTUCKY
TRANSPORTATION CABINET REPORTS
MORE THAN 200 ROADS ARE STILL
BLOCKED BECAUSE OF FLOODING
MOSTLY IN WESTERN KENTUCKY.
SINCE THE FLOODING BEGAN, THE
AMERICAN RED CROSS HAS HAD BOOTS
ON THE GROUND COORDINATING
DISASTER RELIEF.
LAST WEEK "KENTUCKY EDITION"
TAGGED ALONG WITH SOME
(02:02):
VOLUNTEERS TO GET A CROZIER LOOK
AT THE FIRST STEPS ON THE ROAD
TO RECOVERY.
>> THIS ONE IS MORE DRASTIC, I
THINK BECAUSE IT IS A PROLONGED
FLOOD.
SOMETHING THAT IS GOING TO BE UP
FOR TWO OR THREE DAYS AND PEOPLE
ARE ANXIOUS TO GET BACK INTO
THEIR HOMES TO SEE WHAT THEY
HAVE TO DO TO GET ON THE ROAD TO
(02:24):
RECOVERY.
A LOT HAVE NOT SPRNSED THIS.
THEY WILL BE IN THE DARK AND
THAT IS WHERE THE RED CROSS WILL
STEP IN AND HELP AND HELP WITH
THE CASE WORK AND TRY TO GET
THEM GOING IN THE RIGHT
DIRECTION FOR THEIR RECOVERY.
>> WHAT WE FOCUS ARE NEEDS,
MAKING SURE PEOPLE HAVE A SAFE
PLACE TO STAY THAT WARM MEAL.
(02:45):
SOME PLACE THEY CAN GO DURING
THE DAY IF THEY ARE CLEANING UP,
CHARGE THEIR PHONE, TAKE A
BREAK.
CURRENTLY WE HAVE CLOSE TO 400
RED CROSS VOLUNTEERS AND
RESPONDERS ON THE GROUND ACROSS
KENTUCKY FROM PADUCAH AND
BOWLING GREEN TO LOUISVILLE AND
FRANKFORT.
REALLY JUST BEING OUT IN THE
COMMUNITY HELPING SUPPORT OUR
(03:06):
NEIGHBORS, OPERATING OVER A
DOZEN SHELTERS JUST TO MAKE SURE
PEOPLE HAVE SOMEWHERE SAFE TO
STAY AND A WARM MEAL TO EAT AND
CHARGE THEIR PHONE, AS THEY
FIGURE OUT THEIR NEXT STEPS.
SINCE THE FLOODS, HIT WE HAVE
BEEN ON THE GROUND OFFERING
SHELTER, WE PREPOSITIONED
SUPPLIES BEFORE THE RAINS
(03:27):
STARTED.
BEFORE THE RAINS STARTED WE HAVE
WORKED WITH LOCAL PARTNERS TO
IDENTIFY SHELTERING LOCATIONS.
REALLY WHATEVER WE CAN DO TO
HELP SUPPORT OUR COMMUNITIES.
AFTER WE'LL WORK WITH THE LOCAL
COMMUNITIES, IDENTIFY THEIR
NEEDS AND DO OUR BEST TO SUPPORT
THEM AS THEY WORK ON THEIR ROAD
(03:50):
TO RECOVERY.
AND THAT CAN DIFFER DEPENDING ON
THE PERSON AND DEPENDING ON THE
COMMUNITY.
>> LOUISVILLE IS CENTRAL
KENTUCKY WE HAVE WESTERN
KENTUCKY.
WESTERN KENTUCKY ALL THE STUFF
IN LOUISVILLE HAS TO GO DOWN TO
PADUCAH.
SO IT'S WIDESPREAD.
NOT ONLY DO YOU HAVE TO CONTEND
WITH THE RIVER AND THE KENTUCKY
RIVER YOU HAVE TO CONTEND WITH
THE STREAMS GOING INTO THAT.
(04:12):
SO, YOU KNOW, THIS IS A
WIDESPREAD OPERATION IT'S
COVERING JUST ABOUT THE WHOLE
STATE.
QUITE A FEW HOMES THAT WATER'S
SIX, SEVEN FEET INSIDE THE
HOMES.
AND YOU KNOW, A LOT OF AREAS ARE
STILL INACCESSIBLE BECAUSE OF
THE HIGH WALLET ACROSS THE
ROADS.
WATER ACROSS THE ROADS.
THE DAMAGE IS OUT THERE WE HAVE
(04:32):
TO FIND IT.
>> 90% OF OUR WORKFORCE ARE
VOLUNTEERS THESE ARE PEOPLE THAT
PUT THEIR PERSONAL LIVES ON HOLD
AND JUST WHEN A DISASTER HAPPENS
THEY COME, THEY SHOW UP.
THEY FAN OUT INTO THE COMMUNITY
TO HELP WHEREVER THE NEED IS.
AND THEY STAY USUALLY FOR TWO
(04:53):
WEEKS AT A TIME SOMETIMES LODGER
SUPPORTING COMMUNITIES IN NEED.
>> I'VE TAKEN SO MUCH OUT OF MY
COMMUNITY AND I WANT TO GIVE
BACK AND MAKE SURE THEY HAVE A
LITTLE BIT OF LIGHT AT THE END
OF THE TUNNEL.
IF I CAN DO THAT IN ANYWAY SHAPE
OR FORM THEN I'VE DONE MY JOB.
AND THANK GOODNESS FOR
THEM.

KENTUCKY.
JOHN GORDON WHERE ARE THE AREAS
THAT ARE STILL IMPACTED BY THAT
RAIN?
(12:55):
>> THAT WATER TAKES TIME TO GET
OUT OF THE STATE IT'S IN THE
WESTERN PART OF THE STATE.
FOLKS TOWARDS CAIRO AND PADUCAH
ARE CRESTING AS WE SPEAK AND IT
WILL TAKE MORE TIME AND THEN IT
WILL GET OUT OF HERE AND BE
GONE.
THIS WAS A MAJOR SYSTEM,
HISTORIC FLOOD, EIGHTH HIGHEST
CREST IN LOUISVILLE AND MOVING
(13:16):
AWAY SLOWLY.
>> VERY SLOWLY.
I MEAN, IN PORTIONS OF WESTERN
KENTUCKY THOSE RIVERS EVEN THE
OHIO RIVER JUST CRESTING NOW.

DAYS AGO?
THAT TOOK A LONGTIME.
BUT WHICH AREA OF THE STATE
RECEIVED THE MOST RAIN ON THAT
WEEKEND?
>> DAWSON SPRINGS, GRAVES COUNTY
(13:37):
TOOK THE MOST.
IMAGINE THAT KENTUCKY MESONET
15-AND-A-HALF INCHES AND AS FAR
AS WHY IT HAPPENED SOMETIMES
THERE'S BACK WATER WITH THE
MISSISSIPPI WITH THE OHIO AND
THE WATER TAKES FOREVER TO GET
OUT OF THERE.
AND IT JUST YES IT IS GOING TO
END VERY SOON.
>> THAT'S GOOD.
(13:58):
NOW, FOR AREAS WHERE THE RIVERS
HAVE ALREADY CRESTED, THOSE
WATER LEVELS ARE GOING DOWN,
RECEDING, BUT THOUSAND THERE'S
THE FLOOD CLEAN UP AND IT'S MORE
THAN JUST DRYING OUT, IT LEAVES
A MESS.
>> OH, IT'S A MESS.
THE FOLKS IN WEST POINT AND
LOUISVILLE AND ALL ALONG THE
RIVER ON THE GREEN RIVER ON THE

[♪♪]
>> KENTUCKY ADOPTED ITS FIRST
CONSTITUTION ON APRIL 19TH,
1792.
THAT PAVED THE WAY FOR KENTUCKY
(24:13):
TO BECOME AMERICA'S 15TH STATE
ON JUNE 1ST OF THAT YEAR.
KENTUCKY'S 21ST GOVERNOR, BERIAH
MAGOFFIN, WAS BORN APRIL 18TH,
1815 IN HARRODSBURG AND HE WOULD
SERVE UNTIL 862.
IN 1861 WHEN PRESIDENT ABRAHAM
LINCOLN CALLED FOR TROOPS TO PUT
(24:35):
DOWN THE SOUTHERN REBELLION, HE
REFUSED TO PROVIDE ANY AND
REFUSED TO PROVIDE FOR THE
CONFEDERACY AFTER THE ASSEMBLY
VOTED TO KEEP KENTUCKY NEUTRAL.
WHEN THEY CAPTURED TWO-THIRDS OF
A MAJORITY, BERIAH MAGOFFIN
RESIGNED AS THE GOVERNOR.
HE IS THE NAMESAKE FOR MAGOFFIN
(24:56):
COUNTY.
PRESIDENT LINCOLN THE ONLY
KENTUCKY BORN PRESIDENT WAS SHOT
IN FORD'S LITERS IN WASHINGTON
D.C. ON APRIL 14TH, 1865 AND
DIED THE NEXT MORNING.
WORKERS LAID THE LAST RAIL LINE
ON THE SHORT LINE RAILROAD
BETWEEN LOUISVILLE AND COVINGTON
ON APRIL 18TH, 1869.
(25:16):
THE FULL PROJECT COST ALMOST $4
MILLION.
