LEX 18 News

KNOTT COUNTY, Ky. (LEX 18) — Two years ago many eastern Kentucky communities were completely taken over by water. Now, those same communities are coming together to remember that time and to look back at how far they’ve all come.

Governor Andy Beshear visited Knott County on Friday and it was just one of several stops that he made marking the two-year anniversary of the flooding in the region. The events focused on the progress made over the last two years and it was a chance to remember the lives that were lost. 

In his remark, Beshear said, “In a world where things are constantly trying to pull us apart, you have come together you have stayed together you have lived the golden rule of loving your neighbor as yourself, the parable of the good Samaritan that says everyone is your neighbor, and you're about to have a whole lot of new neighbors as these homes come up.”
