Cumberland County water levels changing very gradually 2019-03-08 - Cumberland County, KY - Photo Burkesville Mayor Billy N. Guffey. Mayor Billy Guffey reported mid week that the flood situation from water being released at Wolf Creek Dam was inching downward, the right direction, IF there's no more rain. He said all the experts agree that this water will not recede for weeks, if not months. Cumberland County currently has over 20 roads impacted that include 87 residences. He noted that unlike flooding from rain where creeks and rivers can drain, with the water coming out of the dam, creeks and rivers are actually being pushed back and flooding. When he took this photo Liberty United Methodist Church was on the edge of the flood waters. Continue to keep Cumberland County friends and family in prayers.

Breeding area, off Chestnut Grove Road. Not sure if he was a drop off or if he's lost. He is so friendly. No collar and very hungry. He's loving all of the attention, but I cannot keep him.
