FALMOUTH, Ky. (FOX 56)— Residents of Falmouth were told to evacuate on Saturday as flooding worsened due to heavy rain.
Around 11:30 a.m. on Saturday, Pendleton County Emergency Management (PCEM) announced a mandatory evacuation for the city of Falmouth.
Those who live in the city have been given until 8 p.m. on Saturday to evacuate, after which time emergency management officials said utilities would not be guaranteed.

“Now is the time to leave,” city leaders said.
Falmouth’s evacuation comes less than 24 hours after Bracken County Judge Executive Tina Teegarden recommended that residents of Milford evacuate voluntarily due to rising water levels in the area.
