Kentucky Mormons Clean Up after Louisville Flood

Members of the Louisville Kentucky Stake joined in relief efforts during two Saturdays in October to clean up homes damaged by floodwaters during the summer.

Torrential rains ravaged the greater Louisville, Ky. area on August 4. Widespread flooding damaged more than 200 homes in the western and southern portions of the city, rendering many uninhabitable and others susceptible to dry rot, dangerous black mold and structural dangers.

Efforts by civic and volunteer organizations began addressing immediate needs, but the work required was substantial. Over a month after the flood, more than 200 homes were still on a waiting list for assistance.
