BEATTYVILLE, Ky. (LEX 18) — Just ten weeks ago most of these people wouldn’t have had time for a celebration. They were busy saving a small town.
“It’s been a lot faster than I thought,” said Lee County EMS Director, Jon Allen. “They’re tough and they don’t like to be told they can’t do something,” he said of this town’s residents and business owners.
In early March, much of the downtown Beattyville area was drowning in historic flooding. The Kentucky river swelled following a night of intense rain. It made Main Street accessible by boat only. Incredibly, no one died or was seriously injured during that episode.
