WINCHESTER, Ky. (LEX 18) â Homeowners in eastern and central Kentucky are still working to clear the damage caused by a major flood in March.
In Clark County, Lee Cottrell lost almost everything in her house, which sits along the Kentucky River, to the flood.
âWhat a hellacious mess,â she said. âSome people have it worse. Iâm not being shot. Iâm not starving to death. But itâs hard to deal with.â
Cottrellâs home is built to survive floodings. The âbasementâ sits on ground level and helps elevate the main house by 12 feet.
