Flood in Lawrence County, Kentucky

A low dip in Old Lick Creek Road south of Louisa was underwater throughout the day.

Flooding concerns quickly arose on the morning of January 31st in northeast Kentucky as a low pressure system pressed into the region. Rain first entered into Kentucky around daybreak that morning then continued to be inundated by periods of heavy rainfall through the afternoon. This resulted in impassable roadways due to high water issues across the area. The disturbance departed to the northeast by the second half of the day, which allowed flood waters to recede for most spots by the early evening.

In Lawrence County, Blaine Creek rose out of its banks during the early afternoon due to the inundation of rain from the morning. The creek remained out of its banks until late that night, bringing an end to flooding concerns with this system.
