Kentucky Flooding
Update
Eastern Kentucky has been hit hard with flooding. It was so
bad that entire towns, including some courthouses, have been washed away. The
President has declared this a major disaster. Please keep those effected in
your thoughts and I encourage everyone to contribute something if they can.
Many have lost everything, and even more horrible many lives have been lost.
