Kentucky’s state capital has been hit hard by flooding, following days of heavy rain across the state.
Residents in parts of Frankfort were evacuating on Sunday morning, Gov. Andy Beshear said on social media, and all state offices in the Frankfort area will be closed Monday.
The Kentucky River is projected to crest at 49.5 feet on Monday, according to the National Weather Service, one foot higher than the all-time record set in 1978. NWS considers 40 feet or higher a “major flood” in Frankfort.
With the Kentucky River running through Franklin County, those in the area are no strangers to floods.
The river’s water levels are expected to crest at 45 feet by Monday. This is familiar to many who were around the area nearly 30 years ago.
Hecker said, “This is projected to be the fourth highest historic flood and is on par with the flood of 1997.”
City officials took precautionary steps to help protect homes and businesses, like Rebecca Ruth Chocolates, that are located along the river by installing flood walls. Those are something Hecker (who lived in Frankfort at the time) said were not in place during the 1997 flood and could have been helpful.
The National Weather Service defines major flooding as “extensive inundation of structures and roads.
