 not stealing your thunder. This is Shannon Deskins reporting doing some more flooding reports from Pike County actually I'm in Coal Run Village right now and I've got Andrew Scott the mayor of Coal Run and Andrew where we're standing right now it's obvious the water is up your park is now underwater. Our park is underwater and it's unfortunate to see to see all this I mean you can look and you can see our stage here is underwater as well. We just got some stuff out of our storage building which is where our bathrooms are but you know we are blessed right now that we do not have as of this point any homes under water and any families dealing with dealing with having to be rescued so you know all in all you know even though it's a difficult day for all of us here you know we're blessed that we don't have anybody anybody having to deal with anybody having to deal with with being flooding and having to be rescued. Now we know last night we had a really rapid rise I mean about 25 feet overnight but it has slowed down last we've heard you and I've been talking with NOAA the Corps of Engineers and a lot of people who are watching the river they're looking at we may hit 40 feet but hopefully we'll stay under that and we're within a foot foot and a half of that now a couple feet so maybe we're looking at the last of that they're hoping by early afternoon that we will actually see a crest so I know you know Coal Run has a lot of low lying low lying areas that are prone to get water when we get to that point so we got our fingers crossed but I know you've got I've seen your police officers go by I mean they're going home by home to make sure everybody's okay at this point. Yeah and particularly in low lying areas I've ordered them to go home by home and just let people know hey the water is rising and you probably need to get out we've got some homes on windward line that are particularly in danger I know one of them is currently evacuating okay but at this point you know as as opposed to our 2015 flood at this point right now we have not had to do any water rescues but we do have the Floyd County Swift Water Rescue team on standby just spoke with Mayor Les Stapleton and I want to thank Mayor Stapleton for for helping us we do have them on standby should we have to have any do any do any more rescues plus we've also got our special response or special response tactical Humby vehicle which can forward you know water up to four feet and we've got several fire fire trucks that can also get in some hot water to get people but we don't anticipate that happening hopefully. Well you are one of the many communities in the area that are pretty much just watching on high alert right now so we appreciate you and all the staff that you have that are keeping your your residents safe. Thank you very much. Thanks Andrew. Have a good day. And as you can see we're gonna pan around behind me and you can see what we're talking about when we say that the Co run park is under water the stage we've got the picnic table some of the things you can't access it at this point but again if that's all that we're going to deal with with this situation is some flooded recreational areas and we should all consider ourselves lucky at this point in Co run the city of Pikeville we've been in contact with officials. No homes have been inundated with water now I know that's not to say that there aren't some places out in different counties in our region but of course East Kentucky Broadcasting, EKB News we have reporters out throughout the region trying to get a grip and trying to bring you the information that is going on even in the more rural areas so stay tuned throughout the day we're going to continue to monitor this situation as far as the water but the next time that you see us will probably be with the Pikeville Fire Department as they are preparing to close those floodgates so stay tuned and we'll bring you more flood information as it becomes available. Reporting in Co Run I'm Shannon Deskins for EKB News.
