On Feb. 15, several inches of rain fell onto already saturated soil across Kentucky, causing rivers to rise and widespread flooding. On Tuesday evening, communities were gearing up for the next obstacle—snow and arctic temperatures.
State police reported that since Feb. 15, dispatch has answered 12,508 calls for service, including water rescues and welfare checks.
According to Gov. Andy Beshear, 14 people have died.
KSP pilots flew FEMA officials over flood-damaged areas in eastern Kentucky on Tuesday, documenting damage for a potential disaster declaration.
Before Tuesday’s snow, the KSP Aircraft Branch located a dock connected to 15 boats that had dislodged and washed down the Kentucky River while conducting search and rescue flights. First responders were able to secure the dock and boats before colliding with a bridge.
Snow began to move through the Commonwealth overnight, and since 8 p.m. on Tuesday, troopers have responded to 69 motorist assists and 62 crashes. Two crashes caused injuries.
In Lyon County, troopers reportedly responded to I-24 after a commercial vehicle crashed into the back of a Kentucky Transportation Cabinet snowplow.
“We are asking motorists to slow down and leave plenty of space for snowplows to work,” state police said.
KSP affirmed that troopers, officers, and staff continue to work around the clock to keep Kentuckians safe.
