For some eastern Kentucky counties.

The latest round of flooding comes less than two months after a devastating flood event left 22 dead and destroyed hundreds of homes and businesses.

Tomorrow night, the Foundation for Appalachian Kentucky will hold a special flood relief concert in hazard to benefit those impacted by the February flood.

The headliner musician and former Dukes of Hazzard star John Schneider, who tells us this is one way to pay back a community that has showed him support through the years.

As soon as we heard about the floods, it was okay.

We have to do something.

You know, but then he said, well, you know, your birthday's on April 8th.

I said, I know I've had 64 of them so far.

I remember.

And she said, why don't we go and do this on your birthday?

And I said, that's the best idea I've ever heard.

If you're fortunate enough to be given any kind of celebrity, you should do something good with it.

And hazardous and wonderful things for me, just by being hazard, you know, I mean, I'm.

I'm forever associated.

They spelled it wrong, but, I'm, forever associated with that beautiful part of our country.

The response on Facebook, the response on all the social media platforms has been just wonderful.

People are excited.

I told them on the on Facebook the other day, I said, come hell or high water, we're going to make it back to hazard.

We had no idea there was going to be this kind of weather, on this trip, but we're going to be there.

Like I said, if I have to, I have to, paddle a paddle a canoe with my guitar is the paddle.

We're going to be there.

We are so thankful that he is willing to do a benefit concert.

And he's he is donating his time and his talent, as well as that of his band.

They have traveled here on their own dime, to come to hazard and set up, and, and play, and perform a concert.

So this is, for victims, from February 2025.

Flood.

And then also, if anything does happen in these next few days, with flooding in the region, that money will also go to, to benefit anyone who's impacted by that as well.

We have to be able to prepare, for any, any contingency that might be happening, so that we can be prepared for our communities.

So I'm honored.

I'm humbled by their, their reaction.

And I hope that what we do on my birthday, I hope come, come April 9th, we will have all been part of the single greatest fundraising effort in this entire area.

But I'm going to say this come hell or high water, we are headed to hazard.

I hear the rain.
