 As a result of flash flooding from January 1st, Pike County officials came out to the Big Creek Fire Department to assess damages for federal relief. This is the worst of the three events we've had this year. I think we're going to be somewhere north of 100 structures damaged. So far the efforts have been to get the roads open back up, to try to get water restored. We still have a lot of folks that are without water. And the weather between Saturday and now has, of course, the temperatures have fallen 40 plus degrees. And now we're dealing with trying to clean up flood damage in almost near freezing temperatures. In the last of three flash flooding events to hit Pike County, Jones says that the recent flooding event has been far worse, stating the number of homes damaged. Following the flooding, Jones says they are seeking to relocate a few of their fire stations. Rick Green, who's the chief, just told me this was the fourth time in 20 years that the fire department's flooded. The Blackberry Volunteer Fire Department's main stage or station flooded in September. And we are in the process of trying to do a hazard mitigation grant to locate or relocate that station out of the flood plain. This station is going to have to be moved because this department has in the past been a key to helping recovery efforts after flood events. In 2012, Eastern Kentucky was devastated by tornadoes. Within days, people in Western Kentucky stepped up to help the people of our region. Pikeville Medical Center is a Christian organization committed to helping others. And that includes our neighbors in Western Kentucky. Our commitment goes far beyond those who come to our hospital for treatment. That sentiment is echoed from all of us at DoubleQuick. The need is great right now in Western Kentucky and we know the people of Eastern Kentucky are ready and willing to help. During the season I'm giving, please consider donating to those who have found themselves with nothing just days before Christmas. In-person donations can be made to all Pikeville Medical Center facilities and the register at all DoubleQuick locations. To donate online, go to www.givetopmc.org. With actions such as recovery and rescue so crucial to the community, Joan says they are also looking to relocate the Blackberry Volunteer Fire Department. We're very fortunate that the Belfry Fire Department did not get substantially damaged. We've got a lot of flood damage in the Belfry area, a lot of flood damage here in Big Creek, but the damage also goes over into Blackberry and into the Phelps area as well. With upwards of 100 homes damaged by flooding, Emergency Management Director Doug Tackett says most people have returned home, however they are still receiving calls. We'll probably have the county done Wednesday or Thursday. We're still getting calls of damage in places we weren't aware of, but we're going to get all those too. So it'll take a couple of three days to get it all done and we've got to roll it up to the state and then the state's got to get it from all the other counties as well and it'll be a process to get it all done.
