The long road to recovery in eastern Kentucky from last year's deadly summer flood continues. Penny Fields along with her niece live in the community of Sassafras in Knott County. Her house sits at the base of a mountain with a deeply cut creek on the other side of the road. Fields saw the signs of disaster near her house that July night.
“The reason we knew it was so bad is standing here, you can’t see our little stream from here. But, standing on this porch, we could see it gushing. It was just gushing up and I ever made a comment to her, if we can see this here they’re in trouble down the street here..down the road,” said Fields.
