In the desperate hours after the massive storm struck his state, Gov. Andy Beshear took time from his duties to do what many of his fellow Kentuckians were doing — making calls to track down a relative. The governor was able to find his cousin.
One family suffered an unspeakable tragedy — the death of a baby girl.
By Sunday, the baby was having seizures and doctors noticed a brain bleed. They believed she had a stroke, Koon said in a Facebook posting. The destruction in the town was widespread. The top county official, Judge-Executive Jack Whitfield Jr., said “hundreds” of homes in Dawson Springs were destroyed. He estimated that 60% to 75% of the Hopkins County town was “beyond repair.”Andy Beshear described the grim view from the front porch that he had visited with his grandparents as a kid. The house his dad grew up in was intact, but the devastation was in clear sight.
“I think one of Andy’s memories is riding down the street on that tractor in granddad’s lap,” Beshear said. “We had some great times when the kids were growing up.”
