Flash Flooding possibilities cause state EMOC to activate Flash flooding will be a threat as the system moves through the Commonwealth. Do not drive or walk through any flooded areas.

FRANKFORT, KY - (Thu 31 Aug 2017) - Kentucky Emergency Management (KYEM) will activate its State Emergency Operations Center (SEOC) in support of the remnants of Hurricane Harvey that will cross over the Commonwealth later today. The SEOC will activate at 4pmET today, 31 Aug 2017, at a Level 4, which consists of personnel monitoring the weather system. The remnants will bring periods of widespread, moderate to heavy rainfall Thursday evening through Friday.

Carol Perkins: More than a surprise in subscription beauty box Sometimes it pays to get glasses and read the directions. Next earlier column: Carol Perkins: Going on strict Tv news watching limit By Carol Perkins I subscribe to Birchbox.
