Officials say water levels are projected to crest at record highs, urging residents to take necessary precautions and seek safety.
맥스카지노There are parts of the downtown South Frankfort neighborhood that aren맥스카지노t protected by the flood wall, and we맥스카지노re already starting to see water come in there because of the scope of this and the projected crest; that맥스카지노s what has it so concerning this time,맥스카지노 said Mayor Layne Wilkerson.
The rising water has residents, like Hayley Close, who lives on Taylor Avenue, evacuating their homes.
맥스카지노Obviously, we didn맥스카지노t really sleep much last night trying to keep an eye on things. We woke up this morning, and it was at our back porch and had to make the drastic decision to get out while we could,맥스카지노 Close said.
Search and rescue teams, some coming from as far as North Carolina, are moving door-to-door, advising residents in the most affected areas to evacuate immediately.
맥스카지노We don맥스카지노t really have an option. At the end of the day, whatever맥스카지노s left in this house, it can be replaced. But me, him, and the dogs can맥스카지노t,맥스카지노 Close said.
Franklin County Judge Executive Michael Mueller is urging the community to prioritize safety over property.
맥스카지노We맥스카지노ve never seen it at 49.5 feet either. So, people just need to be, you know, smart. If they have a place for someone else to stay, open their house because there맥스카지노s going to be a lot of people just, you know, displaced,맥스카지노 Mueller said.
City officials continue to monitor the situation closely, and residents are encouraged to stay updated and comply with evacuation orders as floodwaters threaten to enter vulnerable areas of the city.
