Now we're also in Henry County that we were there last week, specifically in the town of Lockport that sits along the Kentucky River.

Just more than a dozen families call the Rivertown home.

Our June LaFleur went there and saw the start of cleanup efforts when she visited on Friday.

This is the inside of Darrell Arnold store.

H's grocery and hard work.

And I'm out here open seven days a week, 14 hours a day.

And I've been here for about 45 years.

Arnold moved his stock and coolers to an elevated garage.

Not an easy task, but a necessary one.

I'm here to draw the river so I'm real familiar with what's going to happen until this one.

I mean, this is one that kind of throw.

Maybe because of the rain, it just kept raining and rain.

And so, you know, if it if it quit raining, that I would have not going to determined to work with it or it was going to be.

He's been through other floods.

This wall in his store marks how high the water got in 1997.

His home on higher ground is fine.

That's not the case for Herbie Carroll.

I live in Lockport.

You see what the flood done to me?

It destroyed everything I had.

We got out safely, and we lived with my sister in law all year.

And Grace was the number six flood I went through down here, which I should have left on the first floor.

While residents face a new reality, state workers are restoring some normalcy.

We are out here cleaning the mud and the debris off of the state highways, where the floodwater has receded, and we're also checking the roads for any damage and checking the bridges to make sure people can cross them.

But we've got a lot of mud on the road, and we've asked loaders Rock quarry to bring us some water to help rinse the road off, and it's really helped when water started rising.

People that live near the river and creek left.

My son and I up and Judge Bates was here.

And I'll tell you how many times a helping people get out of here.

You get that that morning to move.

Brad Fisher is a Henry County magistrate who gets his hands dirty today where all of our crews are out.

We've got a lot of gravel roads.

More so in my district than anywhere.

You know, you get close to the bridges.

We got to get them opened up as quick as we can.

Then we'll go back next week and put gravel if we can get to some gravel.

The quarries, I think, go open up for us Monday and let us get some.

They got flooded the quarry there, they got covered up.

So we're just trying to get all the roads open today that we can so people can get out.

People over an eastern side of the county, they've been without electric for five days.

They got it back on here today.

The busiest sounds in the small town ringing out from the Baptist church.

Cleanup is underway.

This is my my church that I was raised in.

My mom and dad and my family.

We up here, and a lot of them still go here, right now we are, washing the walls.

We're washing it with sanitizer.

And then, we're going to have to spray it all down with bleach.

So we're trying to get everything off the walls and get the floors cleaned off, and then come back and we'll spray it down with bleach water and let that dry.

Then we'll have to assess if we're going to have to redo all the drywall or things like that.

We just had a new floor put in about four weeks ago when it flooded.

We were blessed.

It didn't get in the church then.

But this time it probably got up nine feet inside the church.

Kim Patterson says the church has only held three services so far in 2025, because of all the other storms this year.

A church member has opened her barn for worship and Easter festivities this coming weekend, with help from reporter Joe Durbin of the Henry County Local.

I'm June Leffler for Kentucky Edition.

Thank you.

June.

Governor Beshear initially requested FEMA assistance for 13 Kentucky counties.

That does not include Henry County.

Although the governor said he certain more counties will be added.
