What challenges is Kentucky facing after its recent historic floods?

Kentucky is confronting compounded natural disasters as it braces for a new snowstorm while still recovering from devastating winter floods. After heavy rainfall caused the Kentucky River to flood downtown Beattyville, communities have barely begun cleanup efforts when faced with the threat of up to 6 inches of snow. Residents are struggling with the dual challenges of flood recovery and preparing for more harsh weather. As one local described, 'We got the flood first and we're trying to clean up and the cold, frigid temperatures and the snow's coming later today.' This crisis highlights the community's resilience while dealing with the ongoing impacts of relentless winter conditions.
