BOWLING GREEN, Ky. — Many Bowling Green neighborhoods remain flooded after the recent heavy rain, leaving people locked in their homes and drivers not being able to pass through certain roads. 

“It kept on raining and raining and raining," said John Grady, Bowling Green resident. "The whole backyard was gone.”

Grady lives on a cul-de-sac where water reached into his backyard and damaged his air conditioning unit.

“We don’t have no heat (sic), so it got cold last night," Grady said. 

A retired veteran, Grady lives on a fixed income, making it hard to pay for damages.

“My life savings is in that house," he said. "I don’t know if we can stay or not. I don’t know if we can repair it; underneath, it is flooded.”“My life savings is in that house," he said. "I don’t know if we can stay or not. I don’t know if we can repair it; underneath, it is flooded.”

Grady is one of just many Bowling Green residents who have been financially affected by the floods. People living on Dillard Avenue, just a mile down the road from where Grady lives, are also dealing with high water.

One of the other flooded areas is Elrod Road, where many drivers turned away once they saw the conditions. 

“It’s not about getting stuck; it’s more about keeping my car from getting dirty," said resident Roy Phillips. 

Despite the hardships the severe weather has brought, Grady said he's thankful that no one in his neighborhood was hurt. 

“Electricity is on; we still got running water," he said. "Don’t know if it’s safe to drink, so we’re going to call the company to see if it’s safe.”

Bowling Green Public Works said the floodwaters are not expected to recede for another six to nine days.

The Warren County Government asks anyone who has flood damage on their property to take a survey and report the damage to help expedite damage assessments with the Federal Emergency Management Agency.
