Funeral Arrangements Set For Martin County Woman Killed in Flood
Inez - Heavy flooding across the state resulted in 8 deaths, including one Eastern Kentucky native. 25 year old Lauren Brooke Fannin, originally of Martin County was getting out of a cab in Lexington this weekend with her friend Lindsay Harp, when both were pulled down into the rushing water. Right now visitation for Lauren Fannin is scheduled for 6pm tonight at the Inez Baptist Church with the funeral tentatively scheduled for 1pm Tuesday.
Today State officials began to assess how much damage the storms caused, according to Buddy Rogers, a spokesman for the Kentucky Division of Emergency Management in Frankfort. Most of the flooding had subsided, and no more high water is expected. The National Weather Service is reporting most areas of the state had received at least five inches of rain over the weekend, with isolated areas getting close to 10 inches.
