Nearly a month after torrential rainfall brought devastating floods to eastern Kentucky, many victims remain in shelters
Ivallean Smith, who awoke to rising floodwaters when her pet chihuahua Coco, left, licked her hand, is being sheltered with other evacuees at Jenny Wiley State Park in Prestonsburg, Ky., Tuesday, Aug. 23, 2022. PRESTONSBURG, Ky. — — Nearly a month after deadly flooding engulfed their houses, some eastern Kentuckians sheltering at state parks continue to wrestle with the same life-defining question — whether to rebuild at the place they call home or start over somewhere else.
For now, they're all being lodged in hotel-style rooms at Jenny Wiley State Resort Park, a vacationer's retreat tucked into the Appalachian mountains. Late last week, 455 people were still being housed in Kentucky state parks, churches, schools and community centers, Gov. Andy Beshear said. Those at Jenny Wiley lauded the park's staff for the hospitality extended to them. And they praised Beshear for taking up their cause. The Democratic governor has pushed the Federal Emergency Management Agency to accelerate its approval of requests for help.
Her vehicle was destroyed by floodwaters. She was hoping a friend would take her to the courthouse to obtain documents requested by FEMA. Her decision isn't final but she'd like to return to the land she owns — though she knows she won't find much there.For Bailey's family, some normalcy returns Wednesday, when his three children start a new school year. A school bus will pick them up and drop them off at the park, he's been told.
