  • Wet weather causing more delays

    Several people commented on my column last week where I mentioned our rain gauge volunteers and the diligent job they are doing reporting just how much and where the rains are occurring.  We can say with some assurance that this was the wettest April ever in Henry County, with every reporting station recording well more than the old Louisville record of 11.1 inches.  Our reports ranged from a low of 13.21 inches up to 17.90 inches, with most falling in the 14 to 15 inch range.

    The recent heavy rains had some residents talking about the similarities to the flood of 1997, when about 12 inches of water fell, not over the course of a couple of weeks, but in a single day.

    From March 1 to 2, 1997, a foot of rain raised the level of the Kentucky River four feet in about two hours’ time in Lockport.

    EHS juniors Nikke Gamble and Cadence Payne are best friends, and self-proclaimed hallway royalty. But this summer, the BFFs will split up for five weeks.

    Payne wants to check out Louisville’s Bellarmine University because of its photography curriculum and urban vitality.

    Gamble leans more towards the rural splendor and the academia of Centre College in Danville.
