 Hello folks, Sean Allen reporting live for EKV-TV News. I'm currently standing in the city of Prestonsburg in Floyd County. Here with me now is Mayor Les Stapleton, mayor of the river. We're directly beside the river here, Big Sandy. And from what I've been told, it has been rising rather quickly here in the last little bit and you guys are taking some extra flood precautions here in the city right now. We've been basically in that drain to get the water out of town into the river. And now we're trying to take precautions for the water coming up from the river. Of course, you know, we have a flood while here and when the water gets so high, we shut it off, then any water comes into town from the upper side. We had a pump that made some big pumps and we pumped it out over into the river. So you guys had closed your floodgates? Not yet. Not yet? Not yet. Probably the next little bit we will be. We're getting ready today. Okay. We know the water is going to get there. That sort of thing is ready to prepare. Now, the fire departments down here were down behind the first Commonwealth Bank. What were they just doing just now? There's a large dumpster sitting here and it was getting in the water and that last thing we need is it floating down the river. So we're just pulling it back out of the way. Okay. Now, you had told me earlier some reports of the city of Wayland having some problems in that area. I have talk with mayor folks up there and they've got some water surrounding the houses and things. At the time I talked to them there wasn't any houses yet, but it was surrounding the houses. All right. Thank you, sir. Appreciate it. Once again, Shawn Allen reporting live for EKB TV News in downtown Prestonsburg just behind the first Commonwealth Bank. Just spoke with Mayor Les Stapleton who had talked about that they will soon be closing their floodgates because they do expect the need to do that. I spoke with one of the city officers here. As you can see, the big Sandy, we're here in the parking lot, the lower level parking lot of the first Commonwealth Bank in Prestonsburg. And if you can see that little concrete barrier, if you will, that's the edge of the parking lot. 20 minutes ago there was no water up in this parking lot and within the last 20 minutes the water has risen substantially. And of course the mayor had spoke about the city of Wayland in Floyd County and the conditions there. I'm actually getting ready to head into Wayland right now and we'll be bringing you a report from there. Reporting live from Prestonsburg, I'm Shawn Allen for EKB News.
