In the wake of the cancellation of the Thunder Over Louisville event, which dealt a $126 million blow to local businesses, the city is now grappling with historic flooding as the Ohio River crests at 37 feet. Cleanup efforts are set to begin, but many streets remain closed due to flooding. The relentless rain and rising waters have led to emergency evacuations and road closures, severely impacting local restaurants and small businesses. As residents navigate the aftermath of the flooding, the National Weather Service reassures that upcoming rain is not expected to worsen the situation. Local news channels plan to air alternative programming to support flood victims while the community braces for potentially more storms.
