A fire truck is seen hangin over the edge of the water propped against a bridge on Wednesday, Aug. 3, 2022, in Hindman, Ky., after massive flooding carried the fire truck towards the water. Temperatures are soaring in a region of eastern Kentucky where people are shoveling out the wreckage of massive flooding. Thunderstorms on Friday brought a renewed threat of flooding to parts of Kentucky ravaged by high water a week ago.

“There’s a lot of debris that’s out there that could cause clogging in waterways that could lead to flooding,” Beshear said at a news conference. Last week's storm in eastern Kentucky sent floodwaters as high as rooftops. In the days afterward, more than 1,300 people were rescued as teams searched in boats and combed debris-clogged creekbanks. Beshear said Friday that two people in Breathitt County remained missing.

Don't be wasting federal tax dollars on helping these goobers rebuild in a flood zone. Talk about a waste of money. Sheesh.

Imagine if Kentucky didn’t have useless Republican leadership and they had an efficient governor they could be building infrastructure to collect all that water and sell it to states who are running out of water.

I’ve grown so comfortable in my area (Chicago), I kinda forgot how unprepared I am for something like this.

That’s so sad… Climate change is real.

McConnell, Paul and tfg still call climate a Chinese Hoax?

It is not “too early” to talk about the role the ClimateCrisis is playing in this heartbreaking tragedy. It is not “politicising the issue.” It is speaking TRUTH. ClimateBreakdown is killing us. POTUS please do more. Declare a ClimateEmergency !!!

I'm sure Mitch , Rand will be right over.... Don't hold your breath, hold your vote. 🔵

Hopefully Kentucky starts asking reps to care about the climate

My heart is breaking watching this. So very sorry for all this loss.

The residents don't have to worry about it because brothers and sisters will surely support them in America.

The mold that will follow in that house.. it needs to be demolished.

No one feels sorry for these people in Kentucky. They've made the rest of the nation suffer for years by reelecting McConnell over and over and over again.

O Israel, the prayer of the oppressed will bring the oppressor to his knees, the sigh of the oppressed will burn you. The Palestinian people will win. GazaUnderAttack AlAqsaUnderAttack
