Audiology Associates at 1428 Northlake Drive in Prestonsburg. I'm currently in Hyman, Kentucky, where cleanup efforts are currently underway following severe flooding Thursday morning. I've lived here for 56 years and this is the largest water I've ever seen in town or county-wide. 19 people are dead, including three people from Hyman, following severe flooding that swept through eastern Kentucky Thursday morning. Since the flooding, community members and businesses have been slowly picking up the pieces of their city. The timeline on this is, you know, it had been raining for a couple of three days and then, of course, the night before, about 11 p.m., we've got pretty steady rainfall and I can't classify it as a flash flood, but it came all at once and there was not really much of a reaction time that we could deal with. With homes and power lines destroyed, many are without power and utilities. As of the recording, the city is working to clear roadways and relocate displaced families. A lot of the community members are displaced. They're not here, the homeowners and so forth, but we are at this particular stage, we are trying to access and clear roadways and debris to where we can get in and check residents. Once we get the roadway and debris removal, then we're going to start the cleanup process, but we're still in the process of clearing roads just to get access to people just due to the mud, not necessarily the water right now. While residents and businesses pick up the pieces of their lives, many are simply happy to be alive. Well, first of all, my family was all safe. They were in life-threatening situations, and that's the name. My law office is completely destroyed. It had a lifetime of memories, everything from my grandfather's old desk to pictures of my boys when they played ball. Lastly, even amidst the destruction, Mayor Niece says he feels like his community is strong enough to rebound. Other than, you know, we're East Kentucky strong. We stick together. During times of need, everybody pulls together and, you know, I relate this back to the disaster in Western Kentucky. It's going to be a long time before we recoup from this, but I feel like we're strong enough that we will rebound. Displaced individuals can visit the Knot County Sportsplex if they're in need of assistance. For food or other supplies, you can donate to the Heinemann First Baptist Church.
