About this listen

 When 600 times the normal amount of rain fell on Eastern Kentucky in late July 2022, there was nowhere for its residents to run, and no time: a devastating flash flood came in the middle of the night and washed homes and lives away in mere minutes. Disaster Queen Jenny Rapson talks with lifelong friend Lori Houghton about this tragic natural disaster that occurred in a beautiful yet hard place to live, where they both have familial roots. 45 people and 9,000 homes were lost in this devastating modern-day disaster.Here are the resources I used to research this episode:https://dailyyonder.com/east-kentucky-flood/https://spectrumnews1.com/ky/louisville/news/2023/07/27/surviving-the-floods-rebuilding-eastern-kentucky#:~:text=Between%20July%2026%2DJuly%2030,their%20lives%20in%20the%20storm.https://www.weather.gov/jkl/July2022Floodinghttps://dailyyonder.com/isom-iga-the-grocery-store-that-love-rebuilt/2023/04/14/https://www.washingtonpost.com/climate-environment/2023/03/22/kentucky-flooding-disasters-housing/https://dailyyonder.com/rural-kentucky-floods-lack-of-forecasting-broadband/2023/03/23/https://www.kentucky.com/news/state/kentucky/article263953661.htmlhttps://www.cnn.com/2022/08/06/us/kentucky-flooding-survivor-stories/index.htmlhttps://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2022/jul/30/kentucky-rescue-victims-floodinghttps://www.cnn.com/2022/07/29/us/kentucky-floods-teenager-roof-rescue/index.htmlhttps://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/kentucky-flood-survivors-say-was-no-time-escape-deluge-rcna41152https://www.kentucky.com/news/state/kentucky/article277457683.htmlhttps://www.wkyt.com/2022/08/15/story-guitar-recovered-after-eky-flooding-receives-national-attention/Documentary: East Kentucky FloodDonate to help survivors of the Eastern Kentucky Flood Hosted on Acast.
