The Red cross and other volunteers were giving out food, water, cleaning supplies and other necessities to flood survivors at a site we visited on Wednesday.
One survivor who dropped by the site talked about the damage her home sustained in the flood, and how support from the community is helping her and other flood survivors.
We where you live right next to the river, so we've had to deal with flooding before, and we thought that it would just be a few feet up into our basement.
We didn't think that it would reach our first floor, but unfortunately it got about a foot up into our first floor.
So we were only able to just get back in today.
And it's just a mess.
Our yard is a mess, our houses mess, everything that we had moved up from the basement up to the first floor.
All of that stuff, I mean, that work just kind of for nothing.
So it's been really hard to go.
I asked my mom, I was up to the echo guy, anything, and she was like, well, we can just go pick stuff up.
And it was, it's really nice to have the tools come together and to support people who have been a victim of this flood, because I know there's a lot of people who also have had it a lot worse and might need a lot more stuff.
And so I think just the different resources and the amount of things that they have here, it's just it's really nice to feel supported by our community, whatever.
So they have moments like this.
Neighbors helping neighbors.
That's what Kentuckians do.
City officials say the distribution sites will continue to operate until there is no longer a need.
