Kentucky braces for land shifts following deadly winter storm
Authorities in the central region of the Blue Grass State are warning that the impacts from a deadly winter storm are continuing, with sections of riverbanks seen collapsing over the last several days. Franklin County Judge Executive Michael Marler stated that the damage is directly linked to the rapid recession of the waters, causing some cliffs along the waterways to erode and give way. "But what's most worrisome is this riverbank. As you can see here, the riverbank has given way, and that is because it is receding way too fast. So I want to keep everybody safe. If you live near the river, be aware of this. If you're just walking around looking at things, please be aware of this too," Marler said in a social media post.
