Paducah Preparing for Catastrophic Flooding

    Experts at the National Weather Service say people in portions of the Local 6 area need to prepare for "catastrophic" flooding. Flash flooding will continue to impact even those who do not live in the normally flood prone areas. The high rainfall totals have set the stage for potentially catastrophic flooding considering the given forecast for more thunderstorms until Wednesday.
     All the rain could possibly be record breaking for Ohio River flood levels. The lower Ohio River will crest above the 1997 levels and current forecast crests will near or in some cases exceed the flood of record. People in Livingston County living near the Ohio River have been asked to evacuate their home by 10 a.m., Wednesday.
