This week marks the one year anniversary of the deadly eastern Kentucky floods that killed more than 40 people.

Full coverage of that in just a few minutes.

But first, Governor Andy Beshear reflected on the anniversary during his news conference today.

From hugging survivors that very first day when literally all they had were the clothes on their back to comforting those that had lost standing and not counting at the site where those kids were washed away.

I want to thank everybody for everything they've done, being the good neighbors that we are living out, the golden rule, being there for one another.

Over this past year.

Remember, this is the toughest rebuild, I believe, in the history of the United States.

But it's happened to the very toughest of people.

The governor is also urging people to pay attention to the heat.

The next couple of days, as the heat index could go as high as 115 degrees in some parts of Kentucky.
