that we have faced.

>> The governor then headed to Pike County, which was hit hard by the storms.

That's where state police evacuated 100 patients from a nursing home.

An Elkhorn, many of the patients were carried by Ksp Pike County escaped the worst of the 2022 floods.

The both a cleaning Christie pet will past flood stage both Rivers, both both the force of the other river into the and near major flood stage.

We do not have a total on the number of individuals who are unaccounted for at this point.

That's why we're trying to KET rosters and the shoulders that we have set up so that we can, you know, send those to the state police to compare to see whether any of the individuals who may have been may have been reported missing or checking into any of the shelters at this point time.

This is still under a risk.

You effort and then obviously in the in the days to come will transition purely into a recovery effort.

But we do have search and rescue teams out in the field today with search and rescue teams.

Local teams.

We also have teams that have been sent in from Louisville, Morehead, Indiana, and North Carolina and other areas to you.

People who are special and his specialized training in search and rescue a swift water rescue.

The rivers are going down even though that a 4th has been slower going down in La Voz, the Fort.

It was cut off from the ingress and egress and there was some concern about the the water breaching or going over top of the flood wall.

You know, there's one mobile home Park Drive also of us.

The Whittington Plaza shopping center, every business in it has had substantial damage.

If not the total told me just a total loss damage ace hardware, JC Penney, Sherwin-Williams.

A lot of businesses and that one area totally, totally devastated.

In the.

A lot of homes.

We don't have a number.

We are in the process of trying to assist name is we slice it.

We still have areas we can't even get into because bridges and roads are washed up.

It's going to be down between 11 to 15 degrees on in the knot on Wednesday, Thursday and into Friday.

It makes clean it very difficult.

You know, obviously with freezing water hoses, homes with no power where it's going to be extremely cold.

And we also want to caution anyone could not be listening to this is going to have to use space heaters or propane her tears singer some type of supplemental heat to make sure that they take all precautions both for carbon monoxide in potential fire is we've had those events happened not only here, but across Kentucky.
