Kentucky Restaurant Floats Away

A seafood eatery aboard a barge broke from its moorings on the flood-swollen Ohio River, then drifted downriver during the dinner rush before the 83 patrons were rescued by firefighters using a gangplank of ladders and ropes. The patrons used cell phones to call for help when the restaurant floated 100 feet downstream. Fortunately, the power stayed on and prevented a panic. No one was hurt and everyone was safely rescued from the restaurant. The new destination for the restaurant is still unknown at the moment, but one thing is certain, it will not stay on the Ohio. The Ohio River has been flood-swollen the last couple of weeks due to the amount of rainfall in the area.
