 What makes for excellence in heart care? It starts with one of the most amazing teams of heart surgeons and cardiologists that I've seen assembled under one roof and the region's leading technology in a new $40 million facility. This is the nationally recognized Heart and Vascular Institute of Eastern Kentucky at Pikeville Medical Center. Areas throughout Pike County were affected by the flash flooding conditions on Thursday, February 17th. New Jackson expands on the details. Last night's rain, and the fling that we had last night was more of a flash flooding type thing resulted in some low lying areas. Lower Johns Creek, which floods is a frequent low lying flooding area as well as the Toller area and the back alley or Main Street in Belfrey. And the tug river now is at 25.9 foot. They're expecting it to raise until up to about 27 foot, which is flood stage, which will also block off the mouth of Turkey Creek in 292 West just below ARH hospital in South Williamson. So those areas will be blocked in for a while this evening until the tug river receives. The Loviza Fork is estimated to crest at 33.6 feet at 7 p.m. As waters continue to rise in certain areas throughout the county, it is very important to stay vigilant and safe while driving on the roads. Don't drive through flooded roadways, flooded areas. If it's even close, find another route. Don't because as the evening comes in, it gets dark, reflections of light off of water, things may look like, you know, it doesn't look that bad and people will try things. Don't do that.
