SUMMARY: TriPA is providing guidance for homeowners and drivers impacted by Hurricane Helen in Kentucky. Key tips include avoiding flooded roads—remember to “turn around, don’t drown.” If a tree damages your home, insurance typically covers wind damage, but not flood damage from groundwater. Homeowners should document all damage with photos and keep repair receipts while contacting their insurer promptly. To mitigate further damage, cover broken windows and check for hazards like gas leaks. Lastly, inquire about coverage for temporary living expenses if your home becomes unlivable.

SUMMARY: Chief Meteorologist Jay Cardosi reports persistent rainy weather in the area, expecting an additional 1 to 2 inches, with some regions reaching up to 5 inches. Despite the rainfall, flash flooding is deemed unlikely due to previous drought conditions, which have allowed for ground absorption. Windy conditions will gradually lessen overnight. The rain, linked to remnants of Tropical Storm Lee, will continue into Saturday with temperatures hovering around 70°F. While rain will be prevalent tomorrow, some dry moments are expected Sunday, with a warming trend leading to sunnier, more comfortable days next week, peaking at around 75-80°F.
