The stories are so heart wrenching. The four children in one family washed away. The 81yo man could only sit and watch his house wash away with his 12yo blind dog inside. Makes me wish I would've won the big lottery so I could help those that lost so much. 🙏🙏🙏
Pray that Kentucky repents for how they've treated Blacks. Breonna Taylor was murdered and the murderers were not punished. And I think Carol Bryant lives there. She helped kill Emmit Till. Lock her up and Breonnas murderers to escape God's wrath
@@richard3793 Yup. But an organized group brought together by prayer can and has helped many times. Never underestimate People or the Power of Their Beliefs.
I live in Kentucky but not near the area affected. I was in two floods as a little child and remember trying to help my mom scrape mud off the walls and floors. My aunt is close to this area. Around 30 years ago she and her husband barely got out of their house when flood waters took it off the foundation and slammed it against the side of the mountain. My heart goes out to all those affected by this.
@@heathersinclair2279 it depends some on the location. Many of the places in eastern Kentucky are very mountainous with narrow deep valleys and steep slopes. When there is a significant rain it can run down the mountains and cause massive flooding in a very short time. I think this area got about 10 inches in a short time but there it was like getting twice that much in a more level terrain. Where my Aunt was they had a tiny stream, that is normally only a few inches deep. But in just a few hours the water was over their home. There is minor flooding on /off but this was not a normal flood event. The one with my aunt was over forty years ago and not in the same place but close
For those who haven’t had to go through the months and even years of recovery from an event like this - be grateful- be compassionate- The folks who were renting housing- don’t have homeowners insurance Their jobs may have been destroyed as well. In a year - if they are living in a tent or a rundown RV - what is going to be your attitude?
I went through hurricane Maria in Puerto Rico an believe me it changed my life forever an most people make me sick now that I appreciate so much more than I did before. God help us all. I agree with the person who said if they hit the lottery they would help these people. I guess that’s why I have little because I give always. Just sad I’ve given to some of the wrong people in my lifetime.
@@debrasexton6050almost all faith traditions recognize the idea that generosity is never wrong-one is "laying up treasure in heavenly places" - even if we've had negative experiences with swindlers or un ethical people/ institutions/agencies - if one can wrap ones heart around 'giving" whatever it was.. instead of letting the offence fester in our soul- the spiritual laws of our cosmos -return "pressed down and shaken together" .
that drone footage at the beginning show the destruction and I am quick to note that one house had CMU blocks that were not filled with concrete, meaning I could have ran into the wall with my body and knocked it down. some of these deaths are a direct result of poor construction practices. God rest the souls of the dead.
Well not necessarily with weight that was once on it, but I get what you mean. Code enforcement is neutered when "deregulation" is a dominant party's platform..
Yea well "that's how they do it", would be their code. Those are singlewide stacks, pull off the wheels and park it with axels on cinder blocks. NOT EVEN Hurricane/tornado straps. I would have driven 1" rebar stakes a few feet into the ground inside the blocks before filling with cement. And then lag bolting the trailer to the anchors. These people were "camping". You build/by on a floodplain river bank expect to get wet. Send them more prayers, we all see how well those work. LOL
Am I wrong or has Mitch McConnell stayed in DC and said nothing in public about this tragedy in the state he represents while at the same time torpedoing all legislation aimed at trying to address climate change related disasters like his floods but also extreme heat, fires, storms, drought, famine, melting glaciers etc. ?
Senator Rand Paul is a well known Libertarian. I'm curious, for the people of Kentucky to receive state and federal aid in the form of temporary shelter and or financial assistance to rebuild their lives, would that be in conflict with Senator Paul's political ideology?
@Rowena Marten Well I can't feel too sad for fools. And these are believers too I'm pretty sure. I kinda recall something in the bible about a foolish man builds their house on a riverbed expecting it to not wash away. Those who buy/build on a floodplain river bed should expect to get wet, keep a Zodiac fully stocked and at the ready, *BEFORE* the 60" flat screen or Xbox, and build on stilts. I have a sister and she's a grandmother with all their kids out there, but Western Ky. they're fine. She's not bright, she was in Tenn. before Ky. I've lived all over the country and been to a dozen countries. When it came time to settle down and plant roots I did so in a place that can't flood, earthquakes are not tectonic plates or fracking, not in a pine oil forest, my jungle isn't gonna burn. We have to pour gas on stuff to get it started here. And hurricanes avoid a monolith so protected by that geological attribute, plus if sea level rises we have 2 miles plus of elevation to move up to. For the last quarter century I've watched all the prayers in the world not stop tragedies happening to "poorly educated" peoples in the U$ and around the world.
GOD BLESS EVERY PERSON AND FAMILY AFFECTED BY THIS DEVASTATING TRAGEDY 😢 🙏🙏🙏💔💔 My heart breaks for everyone affected 😢 💔 🙏 SENDING HEALING HUGS, LOVE AND PRAYERS TO ALL🤗🤗❤❤🙏🙌🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

🤠 Deepest sympathy and condolences to the victims of the Kentucky Flooding recently, 🇺🇲 And too the victims of the Fatal Bus Crash 🚌 in Carrollton county Kentucky on interstate 71 🇺🇲 May 14th 1988, and to the victims familys as well.
Well, in the first place gov Beshear is not in this clip at all, but you still took the opportunity to try and make an issue about his frequent presence at this disaster. So in other words people like you complain when a politician shows up at a disaster and you complain when they don't show up!! There's no pleasing some people. Regardless, Gov Beshear is there often to let the people there know he is doing everything he can to help them through this. I applaud him!
Still haven't heard about that great American patriot, servant of the people of Kentucky, multi-multi-millionaire, Shipping Magnate, career politician, Senator Mitch McConnell opening up his wallet to help his constituents in their time of great need?
People here will say they have great compassion and they want to help the people of Puerto Rico, the people of Texas, the people of Florida, but notice they have great compassion with someone else’s money. - Sen. Rand Paul, 2017
@@HelloImNoob2323 Yeah, exactly! You folks of Kentucky are really, really blessed with two of the best men the mafia, oh, oh...., scratch that..., - two of the best Senators money can bu...., oh..., scratch that too..., - two of the greatest servants of the people of the great state of Kentucky could have..., aww... you good people of Kentucky are screwed, if you're depending on McConnell or Paul. Best that you depend on we the people instead. On a very serious note, absent of any political overtones, my deepest sympathies for that tragedy that has occurred in your state that is truly a great state, the great state of Kentucky.
@@HelloImNoob2323 Texas? Why you dragging them into this? People here where? Are you re tarded or sumpn? Texas is doing great and does it by itself. By the way, you're welcome since they are the only ones that protect the border for you.
@@KB-ke3fi It's a quote from rand paul. Also, Texas's power grid goes down each year, I know because my grandma lives there. Also, Trump never built the border wall, maybe if he did you wouldn't be so worried about brown people.
Your kids really need to get out more. Have you even been to Kentucky? Could you find it on a map? 🤣😂. If you judge a whole state it's because you are unfamiliar with that state, but have developed a preconceived notion based on inadequate information. FYI There are over four million people living in Kentucky twice the population of New Mexico where I live and many other states. Kentucky has a similar geography to other states in the region like Tennessee and beyond and this flood could have happened in any number of other places in the eastern US.
*Deepest condolences* to all suffering and everyone who has lost family and friends. 🥺💔 We truly are witnessing the final hour before the end of this system. I promise this suffering will not continue much longer. Have faith 🙏🏼 A better world is near 🌎 🌱 Unfortunately, *the world will soon end.*
@@edmundooliver7584 I am aware the [tribulation] is not here but we are witnessing the final hour before the Great Tribulation when they say "Peace and security!"

*Section 2 of 2* The _Shelter 64's_ insulated walls, heat, and air-conditioning provide personal climate control; and electricity powers the interior lights and outlets for personal device charging.

Amen.
Greatest sympathy to the victims of governmental neglect in Kentucky. Hard luck that the US government prefer to spend the wealth of the US to manufacture and fight foreign wars rather than help the tax payers.
The heat should make the bodies easy to find for the cadaver dogs. The smell of hundreds of decomposing Kentuckystans should be easy for even a human to find.

Sad events peace and healing to these back woods people who live in flood planes but it will be all right Mitch McConnell is on the job thoughts and prayers.
My worst fear is drowning and not just because I can't swim. But being trapped in raging waters and can't escape because of water on both sides of the car and water slowly seeping in....... This can't be happing! 😟😥😢
So I’ve lived in KY all my life. I’ve noticed when we go through a bad drought it precedes or is followed by all the rain we were supposed to get during the drought. It’s like it all comes at once. Prayers
@@boblove6865 Surely not, that's just a conspiracy by the deep state so they can make millions off windmills. Trump told me that windmills kill all the birds so I'd much rather destroy the birds by burning coal and creating nuclear waste.
Romans 1:18-32 King James Version 18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness; 19 Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them. 20 For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse: 21 Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened. 22 Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools, 23 And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things. 24 Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves: 25 Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen. 26 For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature: 27 And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet. 28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient; 29 Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers, 30 Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, 31 Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful: 32 Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.
@@punapeter Even though he's the other Kentucky Senator? Oh, right. I forgot how butthurt they all were about Schumer and Manchin beating them at their own game for once.
There were devastating floods there in 1918, 1946, 1957, and now. Those are ones recorded and I'm sure there were ones before that unrecorded. The difference, the horror, is the population growth. Global warming had nothing to do with it. It happens when a hurricane tracks up from the Gulf into than 3 river convergence there. Also when a big midwest storm carrying lots of rain, like this one does the same. They're big rivers, and Hindman is in their floodplain.
@@pamelarussell1051 sad thing is idiots believing what they say is "real" when just a little bit of investigation on their part would show them that global warming is a hoax! I for one will not be added to the people that the government wants to be blind little followers that they want to just believe everything they put out in the news and for the ones that say "I believe the meteorologists" I feel very sad that they think that the news on global warming is true simply because a scientist says it! People that just listen and don't investigate are just being laughed at by those same meteorologists getting paid by the government to put out false fake news. Makes me sick! Duh!
@@leroy4259 I provided historical information. Straight from the books. Is that so hard to swallow? Well, here's a new one: Did you know that a meteorologist who won't subscribe to global warming on public television CANNOT GET A JOB on any major network? The list of dissenting scientists, all credible & worldwide, is astounding. But there, I'm sure you don't want to know about them.
Please provide factual and credible information and context which supports this statement. Too many people make statements with authority but rarely supply details to back it up. Thank you!
@@jasong428 Too many people can't take the pressure when called to either put up or shut up but instead of gracefully leaving the field because their egos get the better of them they respond on the sneak just to have the last word. Thanks for particpating.

According to historical documents, there were devastating floods here in 1918, 1946, 1957 and now. There were only 37 deaths in the 1957 flood, but what was the population? These places that are known to be killer flood plains are rebuilt, repopulated...then tragedy strikes again & will again. I feel so much sadness for the families of people lost and missing. As a resident of the Gulf Coast, I've watched as after every devastating hurricane, they quickly rebuild in its path, waiting and gambling on how long until it happens again and how many lives will be lost when it does. But it's their right to do so.
Your perspective of the nature of this disaster and the region's past history of disasters is rather myopic as it ignores that countless other places around the country that also have a long history of disasters. You as a coast guard person should be well aware of that. Just seven months ago western Kentucky was hit with their worst tornado outbreak killing 89!! People have to live somewhere and there is some risk no matter where they live. They should be aware of that risk wherever they choose to live.
If you look at flood maps in all these areas. The houses are out of the flood area. The last flood was in 77 and it wasn't this bad. 57 flood in whitesburg was more then 10 feet lower then this time. I don't see fema moving flood zones either. It's going to take gofund me and other donations for people to get anything back. We had a house fire and the cost to hire a truck and drive hour half one way to the dump was 6x what my insurance would allow. It was a fight. Brashear still hasn't paid our on unemployment benefits after he shut business down. I'm looking for people to not get that federal help. I bet it will go to schools and places he dems good. Fema has lots of hoops to get assistance and it won't cover much of nothing.
@@michaeldeierhoi4096 no I lived it, saw it with my own eyes. Lots of ky state Supreme Court filings and shot down everything he did. I guess you don't live in KY....
With the direction this country is heading, missing people are more likely than usual to NOT want to be found and start over somewhere else, although in today's world THAT is also much harder to do.

Most of them voted for Ran Paul, who is against ANY government assistance for EVERYONE. They get what they voted for. Want me to keep going?
@@nealneal2876 no one is against government assistance nor are they begging for money🙄. people are against the abuse of it not for those who really need help. he was opposed to how disaster aid is budgeted, never said he was against it. to say that these people who were affected deserve it is disgusting! maybe you should worry about your own karma
Ky is like lake mead you can find body’s right now in the woods on or under these hills! About every year when the national guard does exercises they often find body’s from the Harlen county war’s!
There’s a firefighter named Jimmy Belcher who is out there helping the Fire Department to save these people. My heart goes out to each and every family out there. If there’s any way I can help let me know
Come up to Milwaukee Kentucky this weekend if you can or some neighboring states. Boat owners( Florida) go help your friends cause its going to be a hell of a fishing trip!
Well the Republicans think any kind of government aid is a Communist Socialist idea, guess they will have to pick themselves up by their "bootstraps" as I have heard so many on the right say to people in need of healthcare, housing and emergency food assistance.

This had nothing to do with a dam breach, but solely the cause of record rainfall in a short period of time. Climate change is causing that to happen more and more often.
