Pray for Kentucky🙏🏾
Kentucky, there is record flooding across our state, with over 500 road closures. Rivers have not yet crested, so we still have a day — if not more — of rising waters. We’ve already lost two of our people, both children of God loved by many.
Look at the extent of the flooding coming out of Kentucky…

Wild sight in Frankfort, Kentucky today—a whole house floating down the Kentucky River! Major flooding’s tearing through after storms dumped crazy rain all week. Video’s nuts—caught around 1 PM EDT. River’s expected to crest at 44.2 feet Monday, way past the 40-foot “major” mark. Insane!
Truly devastating scenes are emerging out of Kentucky as excessive rainfall has lead to elevated river flooding. Parts of the Mid-South received 16+ inches.
This flooding is insane, reminds me of the flood we had in the late 90’s here in Louisville. pic.twitter.com/1qCBFiHLSZ
