The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet issued the following traffic advisory this morning:
Several roads in District 2 are closed by floodwaters.
In Union County:
— Kentucky 1452 from milepoint 0 to 1.982
— Kentucky 1637, 0 to 2.957
— Kentucky 130, 15.7 to 16.016
— Kentucky 667, 0.5 to 11.2
— Kentucky 668, 0 to 1
In Henderson County:
— Kentucky 3522, 0 to 0.385
— Kentucky 136, 0 to 5
Motorists are reminded to use caution and avoid driving through floodwaters. Remember: Turn around, don't drown.
According to the National Weather Service, each year more Americans are killed by flooding than by lightning, tornadoes, and hurricanes combined. It only takes about a foot of water to float many vehicles off the roadway; less if the water is moving.
The National Weather Service has issued a flood advisory for several area counties. The Ohio River at Henderson is expected to crest near the level where deer that normally travel under the U.S. 41 Twin Bridges start to move up into Audubon State Park and cross U.S. 41 in that area. Motorists should be alert for deer near the park.
