Online portal for donations to help flood victims

From Crystal Staley/Scottie Ellis

Frankfort, KY - On July 28, 2022, Gov. Andy Beshear opened an online portal for donations to flood victims at TeamEKYFloodReliefFund.ky.gov. The website will allow Kentuckians once again to help their neighbors in a time of desperate need.

"I wish I could tell you why we keep getting hit here in Kentucky. I wish I could tell you why areas - where people may not have that much - continue to get hit and lose everything. I cannot give you the why, but I know what we do in response to it. And the answer is: Everything we can," Gov. Beshear said. "Today, we're giving everyone that opportunity to help through the Team Eastern Kentucky Flood Relief Fund."

State of Emergency declared due to severe flooding in Eastern KY

By Crystal Staley/Angie Van Berkel

Frankfort, KY - Gov. Andy Beshear declared a State of Emergency today due to severe flooding in Eastern Kentucky.

"This was a tough night and maybe an even tougher morning for so many of our residents," Gov. Beshear said. "We are currently experiencing one of the worst, most devastating flooding events in Kentucky's history. The situation is dynamic and ongoing. In most places we are not seeing receding water - in fact, in most places it has not crested yet. What we are going to see coming out of this is massive property damage and we expect loss of life. Hundreds will lose their homes. And this will be yet another event that will take not months, but years, for our families to rebuild and recover from."

Phillip Coffey - Ole Keltner School

Ole Keltner School - By Phillip Coffey

Drawing a blank in my memory looking at this 8 x 10-inch white page
Lined very similar, as I warmed myself by the wood heating stove - at
Keltner school long ago, maybe speaking out of turn - standing in the corner.
Not many of us that went to that seat of our first formal education - left.
