Caleb Lowndes | CJ Turner Street in Somerset was one of several local roads to flood during torrential rainfall which began on February 27. Just over two weeks after Governor Andy Beshear requested a major disaster declaration from the federal government, President Joe Biden approved the request Friday and ordered federal assistance to support Kentucky communities and individuals to help them recover from some of the worst flooding in Kentucky's history. But Pulaski County missed the cut -- at least initially. "I think it is still open," Judge-Executive Steve Kelley said Monday, though he acknowledged that some counties suffered more extensive damage.
