Biden heading to Kentucky to see flood damage, meet families
San Diego Union-Tribune
The White House announced Friday that the Bidens would join Gov. Andy Beshear and his wife, Britainy, at a Federal Emergency Management Agency State Disaster Recovery Center. At least 37 people lost their lives in the flooding after 8 to 10 1/2 inches (20 to 27 centimeters) of rain fell in just 48 hours last week in the Appalachian mountain region. The flooding also hit areas just across the state line in Virginia and West Virginia.
More than 1,300 people were rescued in the days after the storm as teams searched in boats and combed debris-clogged creekbanks. Work crews were still trying to restore power and water connections to homes, as residents look to repair their homes and lives after the floods.Thunderstorms on Friday brought a renewed threat of flooding to parts of Kentucky ravaged by high water a week ago.
The trip will be Biden’s first trip outside of Washington since he tested positive for COVID-19 on July 21. He has been in insolation awaiting a negative virus test since July 30 with a rebound case of the virus .

The man who was part of the administration that vowed to shut down coal and regulate coal fired power plants out of business and succeed is coming here.
Is this to pour salt on the open wound of Eastern KY caused by the Obama administration?
Does he have the audacity to come here with a straight face and talk about climate change to the people who were some of the first victims of the climate change scam which has now been given new life under his administration?
This administration is spawned of the devil.
The opposite of devil is God, and this administration is most certainly not of God.
If there’s any moral justice at all, my fellow Kentuckians will boo this guy out of Eastern KY and all the way back to swamp which he came.
Coal is booming right now they are making record profits don’t know what rock you have been under but there’s never been a better time for a coal miner except maybe when the unions where strong.
Your boy Trump said he was going to bring coal mines back once again he has lied to you in fact there was more coal fired plants shut down in his short 4 years than Obama’s last 4 years.
