Mike Keltner: Flash flood warning for today 2017-08-31 - Keen-Wilson Road at Russell Creek ford. EMS file photo - Photo by Mike Keltner, Adair County Emergency Director. As a flash flood watch remains in effect from this evening, Thursday, August 31, 2017, into Friday night, September 1, 2017, we would like to remind Adair Countians to use caution while driving and around water. We have coordinated with county agencies in preparation of the arrival of the remnants of Hurricane Harvey. We expect flash flooding to impact the usual low lying areas and pooling of water is a risk on roadways. Please plan ahead for a flooding risk over the next few days. Remember to turn around, don't drown, when roadways are flooded... - MIKE KELTNER Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.

Blessing Box at Church with a Heart, just off Heartland Parkway 2017-08-31 - Cane Valley Baptist Church, Cane Valley, KY - Photo by Ed Waggener, ColumbiaMagazine.com. The Cane Valley Baptist Church "Blessing Box" is open for those in need and those who want to share. There's no lock on the window door, just the advice to "Take What you need. . . Leave what you can." Inside is a variety of canned and boxed food, hygiene and household necessities. To the left, a car speeds along the Heartland Parkway. The Blessing Box is part of a delightful playground, pavilion, and picnic area alongside the historic Baptist Church. The Blessing Box is new and we haven't received word of how it is working out. Maybe there have been others, but it's the first of it's kind we've seen. - EW Read More... | Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.
