BOONEVILLE, Ky. (LEX 18) â Juanita McIntosh and her family have spent the past 56 days in a motel after historic flooding destroyed the inside of their home in Owsley County.
âWe just had to get out of there with our lives because we could have drowned,â McIntosh said, recalling the night of the flood on March 1.
Partnership Housing, a non-profit that fixes or builds homes in Owsley County, stepped up to help the family in their time of need.
âThe water got up around 70 inches in the home. So they lost everything right down to their towels and their clothes. They lost all their possessions,â said Partnership Housing executive director Cassie Hudson.
