Residents of Kentucky reporting that this year’s flooding is the worst they’ve seen, with the Governor saying the death toll will hit double digits.  State officials declared it to be catastrophic, and admitting they don’t have the labor to adequately respond to calls for rescues.  Next door neighbor West Virginia is sending help.

The West Virginia National Guard is sending two UH-60M Blackhawks and two UH-72 Lakota rotary wing aircraft, and their crew.  They are rom Company C, 2-104th General Support Aviation Battalion (MEDEVAC) and Company B, 1-224th Security and Support Aviation Battalion, based out of Williamstown.

The flooding is ironic as earlier this month the Kentucky Army National Guard was deployed to one city that was facing sever water shortage.
