Governor Beshear addresses storms during Team Kentucky update

BOWLING GREEN, Ky. – During his Team Kentucky update Thursday, Governor Andy Beshear addressed the recent storms seen across the commonwealth.

Beshear confirmed as of now there are no reported deaths due to the weather, and only a few injuries, including a family in Ballard County hurt by flying debris.

However, with the flooding risk still there, the governor says that while everyone is currently safe, the goal now is to STAY safe.

“The February flooding that we really just got through showed us that especially when we have this much rain, it’s the decisions about when to get out, about what to drive through, when to go stay with someone else. That can be the difference between life and death, so over these next couple of days, make good decisions about turning around that car and not driving through water,” Beshear says.

Beshear also thanked the state of Vermont for their assistance in helping clean up, as well as Kentucky Emergency Management.
