    This is a link to team Eastern Kentucky flood Relief Fund
    secure.kentucky.gov/FormServices/Finance/EKYFloodRelief
    We chose the team Eastern Kentucky fund because in addition to helping in many other ways it's going to pay for the funerals of the flood victims

      God bless you Billy! Talk about kicking a man when he's down, someone who would do that would do anything, my granny would have said there's not a place in Hell hot enough for them.

    The time has come to look past the flood and into the future.
    You need to act now for aid to get these people through a cold hard winter. Anticipate a wet Spring.
    My church is making a delivery in November to Eastern KY and I’ve contributed seven coats or jackets and assorted other things. We are all giving but obviously a great deal more is needed.
    Be careful the hurricane damage in Florida doesn’t cause KY to be overlooked. Keep the appeals going.

      It's so depressing how far you can drive and see nothing but flood damage, and you're right the media is like a kitten with a ball of twine, after 3 minutes it moves on to something else.

    So sad to see these community's hit so hard by the flooding, Isom was one of my town's we delivered to when I worked for Bonnie Plant farm back in 85 and 86, ive been there during flooding in the springtime but only minor back then, this makes me so sad beyond belief, love all the folks up there everyone is so kind and generous there. Prayers for everyone affected to overcome this.🙏 Thanks for giving us a look at the devastation Coyote's.

    I grew up down Route 7 but left many years ago. I can't believe the amount of damage and destruction that those people have endured. It breaks my heart.
    IgnitedCoyote, is it or would it be possible for you to travel and record farther down route 7?

      Just talked to a friend who spent a few days in Perry County with his church group cleaning up houses, he said parts of it was completely destroyed. Other reports I've heard from the national media says Perry County may have got the worst of it.

    @scottthomas3792 2 роки тому +2

    Cleaning up that IGA will be a job and a half....no doubt most of the stock will be ruined. Looters are the lowest form of life, as bad as scammers who come in after disasters.
    They do have a tough job ahead of them...winter isn't that far away...a lot of furnaces will need repair or replacing.
    That is a huge mess. You two are doing your part. Maybe it is a small part, but a very intricate mechanical clock is a collection of small parts, and it won't work without everything in place..

      Thanks Scott! These videos haven't been easy to do emotionally, especially for my wife, she's had a hard time seeing all the pain and loss these people went through. It's hard to comprehend the scope of it and it leaves you really depressed knowing you're driving off to go to your home and all those people don't have one anymore.

      The scope of it is really hard to comprehend. There's so many families stretched out across five counties that lost everything they had and some of them lost loved ones also. It's almost emotionally unbearable to see it up close.
