THE WEEKEND. I’LL HAVE THAT COMING UP. WHEN I SEE YOU BACK HERE AT 8.15.
>>JENNIFER WAUGH: THANK YOU,
RICH. NEARLY A WEEK SINCE
FLOODING DEVASTATED EASTERN
KENTUCKY, PEOPLE LIVING IN THE
STATE TRYING TO PICK UP THE
PIECES.
>>VIC MICOLUCCI: ARE DOING SO
WITHOUT EVEN ANY POWER. SO
VERY DIFFICULT. SO THESE ARE
NEW IMAGES FROM PERRY COUNTY.
YOU CAN SEE A BRIDGE
DESTROYED. MUCH OF IT JUST
WASHED AWAY AS CLEANUP
CONTINUES. THOUSANDS OF HOMES
THERE REMAIN WITHOUT POWER.
AND OF COURSE, NO AIR
CONDITIONING BECAUSE OF THAT,
AT LEAST 37 PEOPLE HAVE DIED
AND HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE ARE
STILL UNACCOUNTED FOR AFTER
NEARLY A FOOT OF RAIN LAST
WEEK LED TO INTENSE FLASH
FLOODING. IN THE LAST HOUR.
WE’VE GOT AN UPDATE FROM A
LOCAL WOMAN WHOSE FAMILY IS IN
KENTUCKY. THAT WOMAN MADE THE
DRIVE YESTERDAY IN ABOUT 12
HOURS AND GOT A FIRSTHAND LOOK
AT THE DESTRUCTION AND CHEESE
FROM THAT STATE TO SOCHI.
IMAGINE HOW HARD IT WAS FOR
HER NEWS. 4 JAX REPORTER
ASHLEY HARDING SPOKE WITH HER
BEFORE. WHAT’S EXPECTED TO BE
A VERY BUSY DAY.
>> CHANGE WILL. HOW ARE YOU
GUYS THIS MORNING? HAS
EVERYBODY HOLDING UP?
>> SO IT’S WHAT I SAID BEFORE.
THESE ARE THE STRONGEST PEOPLE
ON THE THEY ARE MY AUNT IS
COMPLETELY OVERWHELMED WITH
THE RESPONSE THAT SHE’S
RECEIVING FROM MY DOWN THEY’RE
HOPEFUL. BUT THERE IS SO MUCH
TO DRIVING. AND YESTERDAY. I
WAS NOT PREPARED. IT LIKE A
BOMB EXPLODED. IT IS LIVED IN
FLORIDA SINCE 1989. WE’VE HAD
NEAR MISSES IN HURRICANES.
I’VE SEEN HURRICANE COVERAGE
THIS DOESN’T TOUCH COMMUNITIES
GENERATIONAL COMMUNITIES. OUR
OWN. JUST THEIR WHAT USED TO
BE A HOME. IT’S NOW DEBRIS.
AND IN MOST CASES, NOT EVEN
THE DEBRIS THAT WAS WASHED
AWAY. AND SADLY IN IN SOME
CASES WITH THE FAMILY OF TIME.
IT’S DEVASTATING.
>> ROOSTER ARE STAYING RIGHT
WE DID HEAR FROM HER A LITTLE
EARLIER.
>> LET’S WAIT. AND GORE. SHE
IS THAT HER SOME WILLS. IT’S
VERY CROWDED RIGHT NOW. THE
BIGGEST CHALLENGE THEY HAVE
BEEN THERE IS MY A QUASI IS
BARELY IT’S VERY DIFFICULT FOR
HIM TO NAVIGATE THROUGH WILL’S
HOUSE WITH THE AIR MATTRESSES
AND EVERYTHING THAT THEY
PULLED FROM THEIR HOUSE TO TRY
TO SOUTH MY COUSIN, HIS
DAUGHTER AND A GRANDSON. SO
IT’S A LOT.
>> HE WAS GO FROM HERE 80.
IT’S JUST SOUNDS SO
OVERWHELMING. HELEN, 2 THINGS
THAT WILL BE THERE AND ARE YOU
SEEING
>> SO MY SISTER, OF MY ARM
LAST NIGHT THAT.
>> IF WE CAN’T MANAGE TO GET A
CONTRACTOR. IF WE GET ENOUGH
MONEY ON GOFUNDME COAST, FEMA,

MONTHS IF NOT YEARS TO GET.
HER NEW HOME.
>> ARE GOING TO WATCH YOUTUBE
VIDEO. WE’RE GONNA FIGURE OUT
HOW TO BUILD A AND SHE’S GOING
HAVE WE GO THIS FRIDAY FOR HER
FOR GROUND CAME HOME FOR HER
VERY AGGRESSIVE AND SHE NEEDS
HER HOME AND WE’RE GOING TO DO
WHATEVER IT TAKES TO GET I’M
HERE NOW IF YOU WANT ME TO
TURN THE CAMERA. I’M SENDING A
VIDEO THAT TOOK EARLIER. SO
THIS IS AN BARBS HOUSE. AND TO
GIVE YOU PERSPECTIVE. THE
FLOOD WATERS ROSE LESS. FROM
THIS. BOTTOM. IF YOU CAN SEE
THE TREE LINE WHERE THE MUD
COMES UP, THE CREEK IS BEHIND
AND IT’S A SMALL SMALL CREEK.
IT ROADS ALL THE WAY OUT IN A
MATTER OF AN HOUR. AND FLOODED
6. I CAN IT’S UNIMAGINABLE.
IT’S NEVER HAPPENED. IT’S GOT
UP IN THE BOTTOM. IT GOT UP TO
THE BASEMENT. IT HAS LED THIS.
PEOPLE ARE LIVING IN TENTS.
THEY LIVE LITERALLY RIGHT SIDE
OF THE RAILROAD TRACK. THEY
HAVE THEIR ENTIRE LIFE. YOU
SEE A PERSON DOWN. THEY’RE
LIVING IN THEIR CAR RIGHT NOW.
THEY’RE LIVING INTENSE. AND
BECAUSE THE VERY WORST OF
SOCIETY HAS TO COME OUT IN
TIMES LIKE THEY’RE LIVING IN
THESE HOMES ARE UNLIVABLE
BECAUSE THE LOOTERS ARE COMING
AND STEALING WHATEVER THEY
CANS. IT’S JUST. THERE ARE
COMMUNITIES THAT THE RESCUE
WORKERS STILL HAVE NOT BEEN
TOO. BECAUSE ROADWAYS ARE
WASHED AWAY. AND WATERWAYS ARE
DAMNED OUT FROM DEBRIS HOMES
THAT ARE ITS JUST A MATCH.
>> ANGEL, WE THANK YOU FOR
YOUR TIME AS ALWAYS. CONTINUE
TO LEARN TO PRAY FOR YOU GUYS.
AND OF COURSE, THE GOFUNDME IS
ON OUR THE LINKS. THAT IS ON
OUR WEBSITE NEWS 4 JAX COM.
